Ise Applied Numerical Methods With Python For Engineers And Scientists

"When we first learned to use computers as students in the 1960s, Fortran was the language of choice for most engineering and scientific computations. Over the ensuing half century, numerous other languages have proven useful for implementing the numerical calculations that are so valuable to our research and teaching. Along with a succession of improved Fortran versions, other languages such as Algol, Basic, Pascal, and C/C++ have all found their way into our computational toolbox. The basic content, organization, and pedagogy of this book is like our other numerical methods textbooks. In particular, a conversational writing style is intentionally maintained in order to make the book easier to read. This book tries to speak directly to the reader and is designed in part to be a tool for self-teaching. As such, we also believe it will have value outside the classroom for professionals desiring to gain proficiency in both numerical methods and Python"--

Python Programming and Numerical Methods: A Guide for Engineers and Scientists introduces programming tools and numerical methods to engineering and science students, with the goal of helping the students to develop good computational problem-solving techniques through the use of numerical methods and the Python programming language. Part One introduces fundamental programming concepts, using simple examples to put new concepts quickly into practice. Part Two covers the fundamentals of algorithms and numerical analysis at a level that allows students to quickly apply results in practical settings. Includes tips, warnings and "try this" features within each chapter to help the reader develop good programming practice Summaries at the end of each chapter allow for quick access to important information Includes code in Jupyter notebook format that can be directly run online

The book is specifically intended for scientists, engineers, and engineering students who have taken a course on numeric methods and wish to comprehend and learn the subject through programming. The book's chapters are written methodically (step-by-step) so that programming becomes simple. More emphasis is placed on computationally modelling the methodologies and discussing the numerical method. Python is chosen as the programming language because it is simple to comprehend and use compared to other programming languages. The book allows readers to use and experiment with the approaches it describes. With very few adjustments, many of the programmes in the book can be utilised for applications in science and engineering.

Still brief - but with the chapters that you wanted - Steven Chapra’s new second edition is written for engineering and science students who need to learn numerical problem solving. This text focuses on problem-solving applications rather than theory, using MATLAB throughout. Theory is introduced to inform key concepts which are framed in applications and demonstrated using MATLAB. The new second edition feature new chapters on Numerical Differentiation, Optimization, and Boundary-Value Problems (ODEs).

Introduction to Python is useful for industry engineers, researchers, and students who are looking for open-source solutions for numerical computation. In this book you will learn by doing, avoiding technical jargon, which makes the concepts easy to learn. First you’ll see how to run basic calculations, absorbing technical complexities incrementally as you progress toward advanced topics. Throughout, the language is kept simple to ensure that readers at all levels can grasp the concepts. What You'll Learn Understand the fundamentals of the Python programming language Apply Python to numerical computational programming projects in engineering and science Discover the Pythonic way of life Apply data types, operators, and arrays Carry out plotting for visualization Work with functions and loops Who This Book Is For Engineers, scientists, researchers, and students who are new to Python. Some prior programming experience would be helpful but not required.

Provides an introduction to numerical methods for students in engineering. It uses Python 3, an easy-to-use, high-level programming language.

This easy-to-understand textbook presents a modern approach to learning numerical methods (or scientific computing), with a unique focus on the modeling and applications of the mathematical content. Emphasis is placed on the need for, and methods of, scientific computing for a range of different types of problems, supplying the evidence and justification to motivate the reader. Practical guidance on coding the methods is also provided, through simple-to-follow examples using Python. Topics and features: provides an accessible and applications-oriented approach, supported by working Python code for many of the methods; encourages both problem- and project-based learning through extensive examples, exercises, and projects drawn from practical applications; introduces the main concepts in modeling, python programming, number representation, and errors; explains the essential details of numerical calculus, linear, and nonlinear equations, including the multivariable Newton method; discusses interpolation and the numerical solution of differential equations, covering polynomial interpolation, splines, and the Euler, Runge–Kutta, and shooting methods; presents largely self-contained chapters, arranged in a logical order suitable for an introductory course on scientific computing. Undergraduate students embarking on a first course on numerical methods or scientific computing will find this textbook to be an invaluable guide to the field, and to the application of these methods across such varied disciplines as computer science, engineering, mathematics, economics, the physical sciences, and social science.
