"Mathematical Principles For Scientific Computing And Visualization | Mathematics

This non-traditional introduction to the mathematics of scientific computation describes the principles behind the major methods from statistics applied mathematics scientific visualization and elsewhere in a way that is accessible to a large part of the scientific community. Introductory material includes computational basics a review of coordinate systems an introduction to facets (planes and triangle meshes) and an introduction to computer graphics. The scientific computing part of the book covers topics in numerical linear algebra (basics solving linear system eigen-problems SVD and PCA) and numerical calculus (basics data fitting dynamic processes root finding and multivariate functions). The visualization component of the book is separated into three parts: empirical data scalar values over 2D data and volumes. |Mathematical Principles for Scientific Computing and Visualization | Mathematics
