Advanced Topics in Computational Partial Differential Equations
Hans Petter Langtangen

Springer, 2004

The book is suitable for readers with a background in basic finite element and finite difference methods for partial differential equations who wants gentle introductions to advanced topics like parallel computing, multigrid methods, and special methods for systems of PDEs. The goal of all chapters is to *compute* solutions to problems, hence algorithmic and software issues play a central role. All software examples use the Diffpack programming ...

learn C++ via the book's examples
In a way, the book is a throwback to a time when most people learning Fortran were not computer programmers per se, but scientists and engineers who needed to solve some problem using computers. In Langtangen's book, the language of choice is C++. A good choice, given that this edition came out in 2003. C++ has one main advantage over Fortran, in its object oriented ability. The procedural aspect ...

An excellent reference to start your research from
This book is a very good reference for those who believe that scientific computing needs a little bit more of software engineering practice. It provides a collection of papers from the major researchers in this area, with interesting examples of real applications. It is not a text book for undergrads, but it provides good pointers to the main subjects, from where the reader can go by ...

Great Suppliment to Numerical methods
When I first got ahold of this book I had just finished learning all the gory details of good numerical codes. But when developing tests for simple cases I found that development went way too slow, so someone suggested I learn Python. This book provides a great demonstration of how python can supplement your existing codes. Either by organizing the tests, formatting output, or just adding ...
