This book provides fifteen computational projects aimed at numerically solving problems from a broad range of applications including Fluid Mechanics, Chemistry, Elasticity, Thermal Science, Computer Aided Design, Signal and Image Processing. For each project the reader is guided through the typical steps of scientific computing from physical and mathematical description of the problem to numerical formulation and programming and finally to critical discussion of numerical results. Considerable emphasis is placed on practical issues of computational methods. The last section of each project contains the solutions to all proposed exercises and guides the reader in using the MATLAB scripts. The mathematical framework provides a basic foundation in numerical analysis of partial differential equations and main discretization techniques, such as finite differences, finite elements, spectral methods and wavelets.

The book is primarily intended as a graduate-level textin applied mathematics, but it may also be used by students in engineering or physical sciences. It will also be a useful reference for researchers and practicing engineers.

The second edition builds upon its earlier material (revised and updated) with three all-new chapters intended to reinforce the presentation of mathematical aspects on numerical methods: Fourier approximation, high-order finite difference methods, and basic tools for numerical optimization. Corresponding new applications and programs concern spectral Fourier methods to solve ordinary differential equations, finite difference methods up to sixth-order to solve boundary value problems and, finally, optimization strategies to fit parameters of an epidemiological model.

Über Autor(innen)

Ionut Danaila is Professor of Applied Mathematics at the University of Rouen Normandy, Laboratoire de mathématiques Raphaël Salem, and former member of Laboratoire  Jacques-Louis Lions, Sorbonne Université. He is co-author of  two textbooks (in French) on scientific computing and one research monograph (on vortex ring models) for researchers and graduate students. His main research interests are in numerical analysis and modern scientific computing. He developed several numerical codes for applications in fluid mechanics, quantum physics and thermal sciences. Over the last decade, he headed two fundamental research projects on the mathematical modelling and high-performance simulation of quantum systems (Bose-Einstein condensates and superfluid helium).

Pascal Joly, now retired, was Research Scientist at Laboratoire  Jacques-Louis Lions, Sorbonne Université and Centre national de la recherche scientifique (CNRS). His main research interests concern efficient algorithms in scientific computing (such as solving large sparse linear systems of equations), coding finite element methods for various industrial applications and exploring the wavelets theory in signal processing. He taught courses on numerical methods in various engineering schools and he is former deputy director of the Master of Sciences and Technology of the Université Pierre et Marie Curie for applied Mathematics.
