Series In Computational Methods - Böcker

This unique volume covers two fundamental elements of computational methods — numbers and functions. It provides an in-depth discussion of the behaviors of numbers, including both real and complex numbers. The discussion leads to the important closure properties of numbers, ensuring solution consistence and existence, and also possible failure in numerical computations in science and engineering.This text then introduces types of functions that take numbers as independent variables and produce a single number. Approaches for constructing inverse functions are also provided. Frequently used basis functions are introduced, with detailed studies on their properties and behaviors. Techniques are presented for constructing basis functions and their use in function approximation in computational methods.

This unique compendium covers the fundamental principles of mechanics of materials, focusing on the mechanical behaviour of structural members under various types of loads, including axial loading, bending, shearing, and torsion.
