5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellently written, clear explanation.,
By
This review is from: Computer Methods For Engineering (Series in Computational and Physical Processes in Mechanics and Thermal Sciences) (Hardcover)
I bought the book when I took the course from Yogesh Jaluria (the authur). I found it to be an excellently written book with clear explanation of the numerical methods before each example. This book is a reflection of his teaching which is also superb. It might not be as comprehensive as Numerical Recipe but I found it to be much more tangible and clearer. I highly recommend it to to all engineering AND science students. There are only two grips I have with the book, all the codes are written in FORTRAN 77, which is a bit dated depending on your point of view, the other is that the pages like to fall off over time in the softcover copy.
3.0 out of 5 stars
Good book but dated style,

This review is from: Computer Methods For Engineering (Series in Computational and Physical Processes in Mechanics and Thermal Sciences) (Hardcover)
I used the book for my graduate level class in Numerical Methods. The book explains numerical concepts well but there are very few worked out examples. The algorithms are presented as pseudocode which is a very very archaic style of presenting. The authors should realize that the best way to explain is to actually work out some examples. Thats why I give this book three stars.

Good for Grad Students,
By EnvME "ENVME" (Chicago) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Computer Methods For Engineering (Series in Computational and Physical Processes in Mechanics and Thermal Sciences) (Hardcover)
My professor used this book for a numerical methods course, and the computer programs within were helpful, but I wouldnt use this book for an undergrad course. There are no hand-worked examples in the book, which might make this book inappropriate for a first course in the subject.
