Providing an approach to fluid mechanics, this title shows how to develop an orderly plan to solve problems. It aims to simplify many of the steps involved in analysis by using the computer application Excel. It includes over 100 example problems that illustrate fluid mechanics concepts. It also has a section on oblique shocks and expansion waves.

Features modern engineering applications and the uses of technology. The author introduces engineers and computer scientists to advanced math topics as they relate to practical problems. It is arranged into several parts such as: ODE; Linear Algebra, Vector Calculus; Fourier Analysis and Partial Differential Equations; and Complex Analysis.

Provides an introduction to the modern approximation techniques and explains how, why, and when the techniques can be expected to work. This book focuses on building students' intuition to help them understand why the techniques presented work in general, and why, in some situations, they fail.

This revised edition provides the mathematical background and algorithmic skills required for the production of numerical software. It includes rewritten and clarified proofs and derivations, as well as new topics such as Arnoldi iteration, and domain decomposition methods.

A revision of a popular book, this work provides for the real-world engineering and scientific examples and problems used throughout the text. With solutions developed using the language C, it presents four exercises to develop problem-solving skills - Practice! problems , Modify! problems , Short-Answer problems , and Programming problems .
