The Classic Text on Asymptotics
I am a mathematics professor, and asymptotic methods is my area of expertise. Bender and Orszag was the standard text on this topic in the early 1980s, and it remains by far the most thorough book on the subject. I had two courses from it in graduate school and have taught from it 3 times now. I have never found a mistake. The book is very well written; its only weakness is that its graphics ...

Gianluca Fusai
,
Andrea Roncoroni
Springer
, 2008
This book puts numerical methods into action for the purpose of solving concrete problems arising in quantitative finance. Part one develops a comprehensive toolkit including Monte Carlo simulation, numerical schemes for partial differential equations, stochastic optimization in discrete time, copula functions, transform-based methods and quadrature techniques. The content originates from class notes written for courses on numerical methods for ...

Essential book on scientific computing
Fifteen years after its previous edition, this peerless book on scientific computing has been upgraded with some very welcome changes. Not only have some advances in scientific computing been incorporated, the explanations are even clearer and more detailed than before. More importantly, the code has been reworked so that it is better than it was in the previous edition. I don't agree with the ...

Five Stars With no Doubt.
During my years as Structural Calculyst this book was always on my right side on my desk, and when I needed it, it was ready to help me find my way. One really very good Engineer has never found all formulas in his head, instead he should be able of finding them out on good references and really know how to use them all. This is the best reference book you are going to find when formulas is ...
Excel for Scientists and Engineers: Numerical Methods
2 reviews
E. Joseph Billo
Wiley-Interscience
, 2007
Excellent Book on Excel VBA Programming
My library holds many books on using Excel and programming in Excel VBA. Billo's book has brought valuable hints and techniques that have enhanced my VBA programming skills. The book offers a well balanced coverage of numerical analysis and statistical regression topics. While the examples are more geared for the chemists, they should not be a turn off for readers who are in other scientific and ...
Numerical Methods for Scientists and Engineers

Richard Hamming
Dover Publications
, 1987
The Purpose of Computing is Insight, Not Numbers
Throughout the book, that motto is repeated. By reading and absorbing the material in this book, the reader is left with the tools and the insights necessary to derive their own numerical methods. No longer will numerical methods be memorized as textbook formulas -- now the reader can adapt and derive a formula to solve a specific problem, instead of trying to fit one of a small number of ...
A First Course in the Finite Element Method

Daryl L. Logan
Cengage-Engineering
, 2006
Excellent First Text
A very good book for someone that has never studied this subject before. It's clearly written, and has very good practical examples. I was able to easily work the problems in the end of the chapters using the equations and examples in the text. To use this book, you need to have elementary knowledge of mechanics of materials, basic structural design, and matrices. There is a very good ...

Great Book
I really like this book. I am teaching Programming Applications for Engineers and it is perfect. It uses advanced Excel Power tools and MATLAB, both of which we use, and its examples are from all walks of engineering careers. It is clearly written, explains the mathematical model behind the numerical method. I can't get enough of using it.
Bayesian Computation with R (Use R)
4 reviews
Jim Albert
Springer
, 2008
more practicality added to Bayesian inference
Jim Albert is a great teacher and an excellent writer. The R language is becoming one of the most used languages by statistical researchers. This is because it has many similarities to S and can be used freely, Jim makes R easy to learn for statisticians in this book. One of the big breakthroughs in Bayesian statistics over the past 2 decades was the implementation of complicated priors and ...

Cambridge University Press
, 1999
Truly an Excellent Book
I will agree and submit: this is an invaluable introduction to the field of bioinformatics. With introductions to everything from sequence analysis to hidden markov models and even a primer on grammars, this is a useful introduction both to biological applications for computer scientists *as well as* computational methods for biologists. I am in a joint graduate-level biology/computer science ...

Kurtis K. Fink
Prentice Hall

Much needed book
Whether you are an instructor for an Engineering class, Life Sciences, Statistics, Mathematics, or simply want to add practical mathematical analysis and programming, this book is the book you should use. I have been using Matlab for a number of years, and I had to pick up my Matlab knowledge from the manuals, man pages, the Internet, etc... and finding out the ins and outs of how to do ...

Finite Volume Methods for Hyperbolic Problems (Cambridge Texts in Applied Mathematics)
4 reviews
Randall J. LeVeque
Cambridge University Press
, 2002
Good book to start with. Highly recommended.
This book starts from simple things and moves to pretty complicated staff graciously. It is useful even as an introduction to the hyperbolic equations. Finally, this is the only book I use at most every day. This is the book I would strongly recommend to all students who study this field and to researchers. It has a very good and comprehensive reference. The author develop even the software ...
Applied Numerical Methods with MATLAB for Engineers and Scientists

had to learn MatLab
I have to learn MATLAB for a current course. Good book with example problems. The assignment problems at the end of the chapters can be pretty difficult though. I would have liked to see the book come with a student version of MatLab. Nobody I know has MatLab for their personal use, and I have to go to the university every time to use it....
Introduction to Calculus and Analysis, Volume 1 (Classics in Mathematics)
12 reviews
Richard Courant
,
Fritz John
Springer
, 1998
More than an introduction
Those books (volumes 1-2) can be seen as a new edition of Courant's classical Differential and Integral Calculus, volumes 1-2 (that can still be used for general calculus courses). The first volume was written while Courant was still alive, and the second was postumous. I believe that they are the best work to start understanding analysis. Indeed, for the general scientist (as a physicist) it ...
Schaum's Outline of Numerical Analysis
5 reviews
Francis Scheid
McGraw-Hill
, 1989
A book with an audience
With no previous background in numerical analysis, I bought this book on the recommendation of my boss who loved the first edition. I had also ordered a whole lot of other books (many from Dover editions). It turns out this is the one I love to pick up from time to time so as to learn a new idea. It goes straight to the point and gives your mind something to munch on. I suppose that with time ...
Introduction to Numerical Methods and MATLAB: Implementations and Applications
2 reviews
Gerald W. Recktenwald
Prentice Hall
, 2000
Useful Book
This is a nice book for scientists and engineers. There are MATLAB programs already written that you can download from the webpage very easily, and modify for your specific use. I am no programmer, so having programs I can easily modify is a plus. This is meant to only be a review of linear algebra, so if you are trying to learn that subject, you will probably need to supplement this text with ...
CNC Programming Techniques: An Insider's Guide to Effective Methods and Applications
2 reviews
Peter Smid
Industrial Press
, 2005
Excellent advanced book on CNC Programming topics
This handbook by Smid on the subject of CNC programming tackles the subject from a different angle than his bestselling "CNC Programming Handbook". That book is a more basic one aimed at beginners. This book is more advanced and contains several programming subjects that are very difficult to find either in other books or on the web. Even where there is overlap with the author's "CNC Programming ...
Numerical Methods in Economics
5 reviews
Kenneth L. Judd
The MIT Press
, 1998
An essential resource for all applied economists.
Judd ties together a vast amount of material--from the most basic to the most advanced--that is essential to anyone doing computational work in economics, econometrics or finance. The book is sufficiently self-contained to serve as the single reference book on computational methods for the average economist. In addition, Judd highlights the origins of most methods and points to strengths, ...
