The book “Computational Error and Complexity in Science and
Engineering pervades all the science and engineering disciplines
where computation occurs. Scientific and engineering computation
happens to be the interface between the mathematical model/problem and
the real world application. One needs to obtain good quality numerical
values for any real-world implementation. Just mathematical quantities
symbols are of no use to engineers/technologists. Computational
complexity of the numerical method to solve the mathematical model,
also computed along with the solution, on the other hand, will tell us
how much computation/computational effort has been spent to achieve
that quality of result. Anyone who wants the specified physical
problem to be solved has every right to know the quality of the
solution as well as the resources spent for the solution. The computed
error as well as the complexity provide the scientific convincing
answer to these questions.
Specifically some of the disciplines in which the book will be readily
useful are (i) Computational Mathematics, (ii) Applied
Mathematics/Computational Engineering, Numerical and Computational
Physics, Simulation and Modelling. Operations Research (both
deterministic and stochastic), Computing Methodologies, Computer
Applications, and Numerical Methods in Engineering.
Key Features:
