Computational science is an exciting new field at the
intersection of the sciences, computer science, and mathematics
because much scientific investigation now involves computing as
well as theory and experiment. This textbook provides students with
a versatile and accessible introduction to the subject. It assumes
only a background in high school algebra, enables instructors to
follow tailored pathways through the material, and is the only
textbook of its kind designed specifically for an introductory
course in the computational science and engineering curriculum.
While the text itself is generic, an accompanying website offers
tutorials and files in a variety of software packages.
This fully updated and expanded edition features two new
chapters on agent-based simulations and modeling with matrices, ten
new project modules, and an additional module on diffusion. Besides
increased treatment of high-performance computing and its
applications, the book also includes additional quick review
questions with answers, exercises, and individual and team
projects.The only introductory textbook of its kind--now fully
