Using Mathcad for Computational Science
Sudbury, MA, April 2009: Jones and Bartlett Publishers announces Computational
Science, an applications-oriented book that teaches students and engineers how to employ
mathematical techniques for simulation and data processing using Mathcad. It is designed
as a reference for practicing engineers or for use as a standard university course text,
illustrating practical examples from computational science (such as optics, environmental
science, chemistry, biology, tomography, economics, etc). The authors describe the most
popular classical algorithms and modern techniques with all of the examples computed in
Mathcad (on CD-ROM).
KEY FEATURES:
• Emphasizes the basic ideas of numerical techniques and the uses of modern
mathematical software (Mathcad) rather than relying only on complex mathematical
derivations
• Illustrates simple practical examples from computational science (optics, environmental
science, chemistry, biology, tomography, economics, etc.)
• Includes “live graphs” and figures rendered by Mathcad calculations
• Accompanied by a CD-ROM with calculations, figures, and source code
• Fulfills the requirements of a course in computational science taking into account recent
algorithms and technology
