Fundamentals of Numerical Computation

Julia is an open-source and fast-growing programming language for scientific computing that offers clarity and ease of use for beginners but also speed and power for advanced applications. Fundamentals of Numerical Computation: Julia Edition provides a complete solution for teaching Julia in the context of numerical methods. It introduces the mathematics and use of algorithms for the fundamental problems of numerical computation: linear algebra, finding roots, approximating data and functions, and solving differential equations. A clear progression from simple to more advanced methods allows for use in either a one-semester course or a two-semester sequence.The book includesmore than 40 functions and 160 examples fully coded in Julia and available for download,online supplemental content including tested source materials for student projects and in-class labs related to every chapter, andover 600 exercises, evenly split between mathematical and computational work, and solutions to most exercises for instructors.
