Numerical Methods and Modelling for Engineering by Richard Khoury, Douglas Wilhelm Harder - 1 recurso en línea (XVII, 332 p.) 131 ilustraciones, 77 ilustraciones en color
Modelling and Errors -- Numerical Representation -- Iteration -- Linear Algebra -- Taylor Series -- Interpolation, Regression, and Extrapolation -- Bracketing -- Root Finding -- Optimization -- Differentiation -- Integration -- Initial Value Problems -- Boundary Value Problems.
This textbook provides a step-by-step approach to numerical methods in engineering modelling. The authors provide a consistent treatment of the topic, from the ground up, to reinforce for students that numerical methods are a set of mathematical modelling tools which allow engineers to represent real-world systems and compute features of these systems with a predictable error rate. Each method presented addresses a specific type of problem, namely root-finding, optimization, integral, derivative, initial value problem, or boundary value problem, and each one encompasses a set of algorithms to solve the problem given some information and to a known error bound. The authors demonstrate that after developing a proper model and understanding of the engineering situation they are working on, engineers can break down a model into a set of specific mathematical problems, and then implement the appropriate numerical methods to solve these problems. Uses a zbuilding-blocky approach, starting with simpler mathematical tools and using them to develop more and more complex models and methods; Integrates modelling, error measuring, and programming, with numerical methods, in order to give an engineering emphasis to an otherwise mathematical topic; Demonstrates not only how the math and algorithms work but also how they can be used in engineering practice.
