Applied Mathematics: A Computational Approach

Applied Mathematics: A Computational Approach aims to provide a basic and self-contained introduction to Applied Mathematics within a computational environment. The book is aimed at practitioners and researchers interested in modeling real-world applications and verifying the results -- guiding readers from the mathematical principles involved through to the completion of the practical, computational task.

Features

• Provides a step-by-step guide to the basics of Applied Mathematics with complementary computational tools
• Suitable for applied researchers from a wide range of STEM fields
• Minimal pre-requisites beyond a strong grasp of calculus.
