Description
Cambridge Scientific Publishers Numerical Algorithms in Scientific Computing by X-S Yang
This book is structured in three parts. Part I: Basic Algorithms; Part II: Conventional Algorithms; Part III: Unconventional Algorithms. It introduces all major numerical algorithms used in modern scientific computing with worked examples to show how each algorithm works. Topics include: root-finding algorithms, numerical integration, solution of linear systems, interpolation, numerical solutions of ODEs and PDEs, cellular automata, statistical modeling, random number generation, Monte Carlo methods, function optimization, unconventional metaheuristic algorithms. This book is intended as a text book or supplementary text and provides a useful source of reference for students and researchers.
