Numerical Simulations and Case Studies Using Visual C++. Net

Master the numerical simulation process required to design, test and support mobile and parallel computing systems. An accompanying ftp site contains all the Visual C++ based programs discussed in the text to help readers create their own programs. With its focus on problems and solutions, this is an excellent text for upper-level undergraduate and graduate students, and a must-have reference for researchers and professionals in the field of simulations.

More information about Visual C++ based programs can be found at: ftp: //ftp.wiley.com/public/sci_tech_med/numerical_simulations/

Numerical problems and the computation needed to solve them tend to be separate disciplines, so that the party with the problem has no idea what the computation is actually doing, and the party who developed the computation is unclear about what exactly the problem is. Salleh, Bahrom Sanugi (both U. Teknologi Malaysia), Albert Y. Zomaya (U. of Sydney), and Stephen Olariu (Old Dominion U.) combine the two to help advanced undergraduate mathematics students acquire a seamless grasp of the whole process. They emphasize visualization to explain concepts, and focus on the problem and process rather than the detailed coding in the Microsoft software package.
