Numerical methods for two-point boundary-value problems (A Blaisdell book in numerical analysis and computer science)

A concise, elementary yet rigorous account of practical numerical methods for solving very general two-point boundary-value problems. Directed to students with a knowledge of advanced calculus and basic numerical analysis, and some background in ordinary differential equations and linear algebra. More than 100 problems augment and clarify the textual material. 1968 edition.


Customer Review: A Must-have in Numerical Computation

whatever field you are in, if you want to do some numerical computation, then buy this book. it is the best book on boundary value problems which is an important part in numerical computation, and of course, it is the more difficult part, compared to tht IVP. This is the classic, this is the book. (borrowed from an ad)

Theory of Computation: An Introduction (Jones and Bartlett Books in Computer Science)

This text offers students a carefully developed and complete introduction to the formal logic used in logic programming languages and automatic reasoning systems. The author includes many illustrative examples to help students grasp concepts. Extensive exercise sets follow every section to immediately reinforce concepts as the student is introduced to them. Many excellent tables and illustrations are included to further help students conceptualize grammars and transitions.

A Laboratory Course in C++ (Jones and Bartlett Books in Computer Science.)

This lab is intended to give students an opportunity to understand the syntax and semantics of the language as they move through the course. The author feels that learning through laboratory activities is the ideal way for students to truly understand a difficult language. This manual can be used in either a closed (faculty supervised) or open (without supervision) lab setting. Each chapter is organized into three types of activities Prelab, In-lab, and Post-lab. The Prelab activities include a reading review assignment and simple paper and pencil exercises. The In-lab activities are broken into lessons, each of which represents a concept covered in the chapter. The Post-lab exercises are a collection of outside programming assignments appropriate for each chapter.

Customer Review: It helps to have the companion book.

In response to the review by rfraley, this book is intended as a companion to _Programming and Problem Solving with C++_ (2 ed.) by Dale, Weems, and Headington. The Lab Course book by itself may seem incomplete.

I have not yet worked with the Lab Course book, but I am using the P&PSw/C++ book in a Master's level programming course.

Customer Review: Is there a no star choice?

These labs were the epitome of drudgery. This book did not give you the resources to complete the excercises and I had to buy another text (C++ How To Program by Deitel and Deitel) just so I could complete the labs. Steer clear, unless you have to use this book in your CS class, of course.
