Elementary Numerical Computing with Mathematica
Robert D. Skeel and Jerry B. Keiper
This book is co-authored by one of the original eight co-developers of Mathematica and is a sophomore/junior level book for students of computer science, mathematics and engineering. It offers a practical, up-to-date, technically sound introduction to numerical methods at an elementary level and is unique in that it does not rely on partial derivatives, which many students study but fail to master. At the same time, it covers systems of ordinary differential equations in order to give the student an accurate picture of scientific computing.
This Stipes edition of the book is priced more than 30% less than previous editions by another publisher.
