Preface

This is the first volume in a three-volume book about scientific computing. The primary goal in these volumes is to present many of the important computational topics and algorithms used in applications such as engineering and physics, together with the theory needed to understand their proper operation. However, a secondary goal in the design of this book is to allow readers to experiment with a number of interactive programs within the book, so that readers can improve their understanding of the problems and algorithms.
