Product Description

This is the second edition of a highly successful and well-respected textbook on the numerical techniques used to solve partial differential equations arising from mathematical models in science, engineering and other fields. The authors maintain an emphasis on finite difference methods for simple but representative examples of parabolic, hyperbolic and elliptic equations from the first edition. However this is augmented by new sections on finite volume methods, modified equation analysis, symplectic integration schemes, convection-diffusion problems, multigrid, and conjugate gradient methods; and several sections, including that on the energy method of analysis, have been extensively rewritten to reflect modern developments. Already an excellent choice for students and teachers in mathematics, engineering and computer science departments, the revised text brings the reader up-to-date with the latest theoretical and industrial developments.

Brilliant!
K.W. (Bill) Morton was my PhD advisor (centuries ago) and I learned to appreciate his unique focus towards numerial methods. In this book, which was already *very* successful in its first edition, the authors succeed in giving a beautiful introduction into numerical methods for PDEs. I used the book in courses for engineers and mathematicians and can only confirm that it guides you very, very well. Buy it!
