The book Fundamentals of Computational Methods for Engineers introduces readers to key concepts in engineering such as error analysis, algorithms, applied mathematics with the goal of giving an understanding of how to solve engineering problems using computational methods. Each of the featured topics is explained with sufficient detail while retaining the usual introductory nuance. This blend of beginner-friendly and applied information, along with reference listings makes the textbook useful to students of undergraduate and introductory graduate courses in mathematics and engineering. The book exposes these topics in sufficient detail while retaining the usual introductory topics in numerical methods, which makes it useful textbook for both undergraduate and introductory graduate courses in computational methods.
Audience: Students of mathematics and engineering; Apprentices and trainees in engineering firms; Engineering faculty at school and college levels.
