Editorial Reviews

Review
The heart of Introduction to Computational Science is a collection of modules. Each module is either a discussion of a general computational issue or an investigation of an application. . . . [This book] has been carefully written with students clearly in mind.
(Bill Satzer MAA Reviews )

Introduction to Computational Science is useful for students and others who want to obtain some of the basic skills of the field. Its impressive collection of projects allows readers to quickly enjoy the power of modern computing as an essential tool in building scientific understanding.
(Wouter van Jollingen Physics Today )

[A] flexible, readable textbook that assumes only a background in high school algebra . . . . It is the first textbook designed specifically for an introductory course in the computational science and engineering curriculum.
(Zentralblatt MATH )

I think this text is a masterpiece. I know of nothing comparable. I give it five stars.
(JamesM. Cargal UMAP Journal )

Review
This is an important book with a wonderful collection of examples, models, and references.
(Robert M. Panoff, Shodor Education Foundation )
