Introduction to Scientific Computation" is intended to be an ideal starting book for aspiring computationalists. It is meant as a short introduction to computational problems encountered by modern scientists and mathematicians. Material is drawn from Crandall's previous (and highly successful) two books, "Projects in Scientific Computation" ÝTELOS 1992¨ and "Topics in Advanced Scientific Computation" ÝTELOS 1996¨, but is presented in a more accessible manner. The "Primer" is intended for beginning students in science as well as the science "hobbyist" who wishes to learn about modern topics including: complexity, data compression, genetic algorithms, neural networks, quantum theory, and large integer arithmetic. Problems are presented and solved using C and the Mathematica programming lanuages. Online files delivered via the TELOS Web Site Ýwww.telospub.com¨ include all programs presented in the book and offer additional material suitable for self-study. The Enhancement files will include Mathematica notebooks, C source code, image files, sound files and animations.
