Numerical Methods for Differential Equations: Fundamental Concepts for Scientific and Engineering Applications

Senior/Graduate level text covering numerical methods used to solve ordinary and partial differential equations in science and engineering. Emphasis is on problem-solving as a means of gaining a deeper understanding of the fundamental concepts. Not a cookbook of formulas. Topics include an introduction to partial differential equations, finite difference method, finite element approximations, design of numerical approximations, and analytical tools. Includes review of linear algebra.
