Description

Acquainting the reader with the modern computer's potential for solving the numerical problems that arise in their careers, this text also provides them with an opportunity to hone their skills in programming and problem solving and helps them arrive at an understanding of the important subject of errors that inevitably accompany scientific computing and arms them with methods for detecting, predicting, and controlling these errors.
