Overview
Scientific Computing: An introduction with Parallel Computing introduces the basic concepts of parallel and vectoring computing in the context of an introduction to numerical methods. This book contains chapters on parallel and vector matrix multiplication and solutions of linear systems by direct and iterative methods. It is suitable for advanced undergraduate and beginning graduate courses in computer science, applide mathematics, and engineering. Ideally, students will have access to a parallel or vector computer, but the material can be studied profitably without one.-Gives a modern overview of scientific computing including parallel and vector computation.
-Introduces numerical methods for both ordinary and partial differential equations.
-Discusses both direct and iterative methods for linear systems of equations, including parallel and vector algorithms.

A modification of the authors' Scientific Computing and Differential Equations: An Introduction to Numerical Methods (Academic Press, 1991), the present text introduces the basic ideas of vector and parallel computing as part of the introduction to basic numerical methods, for computer science students as well as those in science and engineering. The text is meant to be used at the advanced undergraduate or beginning graduate level, and assumes a background in calculus, including some differential equations, and also some linear algebra.
