Numerical and Analytical Methods for Scientists and Engineers, Using Mathematica

• The electronic component of the book is based on the widely used and highly praised Mathematica software package.
• Each chapter of the bookis a Mathematica notebook with links to web-based material.
• The methods are applied to a range of problems taken from physics and engineering.
• The book covers elementary and advaned numerical methods used in modern scientific computing.

Written from the perspective of a physicist rather than a mathematician, this book/CD-ROM text for advanced undergraduate and graduate students in the physical and engineering sciences focuses on modern practical applications in the physical and engineering sciences. Incorporating the Mathematica software package, the text offers solution techniques for the partial differential equations of mathematical physics. The CD-ROM contains animations and source code.
