Just perfect for the course i'm currently in. It's easy to understand, gives examples of the codes to be written in computer. Give explanation on VBA Editor and Solver which is i need it the most.
One of the best books I ever read. The presentation of the book is awesome and every chapter has the following: Motivation: why anyone should understand this subject Mathematical background Scope and preview of each chapter Goals and objectives
I purchased this book for my post graduation mathematics subject.
I think this is how each book should be written and this is how subjects are to be taught.
The platonic ideal an applied mathematics textbook: really clearly written, really relevant, really illuminating. I went from having no idea of how to solve problems in science and engineering with no analytic (long-hand) solutions, to having a sound grounding in computer-assisted methods for differential calculus, integral calculus, differential equations, linear algebra, as well as linear, polynomial, and exponential regression. For most engineering students enrolled in a numerical methods, Chapra's text is the clear choice.
