First published in 1983, this textbook introduces the finite-element method as an important general technique in engineering mathematics. It is written for students who have already completed a general course of vector calculus, matrix algebra and partial differential equations. The treatment introduced in this book will provide a secure foundation for more specialised work. Each chapter includes worked examples, many of which contain important applications and generalisations of the ideas in the main body of the text. The book is principally aimed at engineering students.

Originally published in 1960, as the second edition of a 1957 original, this textbook is aimed at those without advanced mathematical training and provides a comprehensive introductory account of digital computers, what they are capable of doing and how they are made to do it. It begins with a discussion of programming - the preparation of instructions for the computer. This leads on to a consideration of systems of number storage, from the simple decimal system of desk calculating machines to the varieties of binary storage systems used in modern high-speed computers. The final chapter considers points, which arise in applying computers to engineering calculations, and gives details of some of the problems already solved in this way. Throughout the book the emphasis is on the applications of computers to routine work rather than to advanced research. This book will be of value to students of the history of computer science.
