Description: Introduction to Scientific Programming teaches beginning science and engineering students how to solve the computational problems they will encounter during their academic and professional careers. It provides a solid foundation on which students will be able to base a lifetime of learning in the sciences. This book contains a variety of features designed to help students learn how to solve computational problems in the sciences: reviews of key concepts, comprehensive sets of exercises, concepts motivated by problems, stress on problem-solving process, and all Maple and C code included on diskette. The Maple computer algebra system and the C programming language are widely used for scientific programming. One of the key aspects of Introduction to Scientific Programming is to help the student discover when to use the appropriate tool for the task at hand. No prior knowledge in either Maple or C is assumed.
