Introduction to Scientific Computing and Data Analysis

Mark Holmes is a Professor at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute.  His current research interests include mechanoreception and sleep-wake cycles. Professor Holmes has three published books in Springer's Texts in Applied Mathematics series: Introduction to Perturbation Methods, Introduction to the Foundations of Applied Mathematics, and Introduction to Numerical Methods in Differential Equations.

“The material is accompanied by many examples, exercises, as well as diagrams and tables of resulting data which are produced by MATLAB for which the programs are available on the author's website. The book is intended for beginners in scientific computing with basic knowledge in calculus, matrix algebra, and differential equations. … a good reading for the more advanced scientific engineer or lecturer in this field who may find numerous suggestions for working or teaching.” (Gudula Rünger, zbMATH 1368.65002, 2017)
