Applied Numerical Mathematics

SINCE the first edition was published, numerical work with machines has come to play a regular part in education whether in mathematics or as a step to computer studies. This fact has been recognised in some syllabuses, notably that of the project for Mathematics in Education and Industry (M.E.I.). Since this text has been used in preparation for such examinations, it has been expanded to include suitable revision questions. The author wishes to thank the Oxford and Cambridge Board for leave to reprint questions from the M.E.I. A Level and Special Papers, and also to the Examinations Council of London University for questions from that University's Teachers' Certificate.

This is one of the first texts in which electro-diffusion of ions in its different aspects is considered as a unified subject. As a subject it is relevant to understanding the behavior of apparently different physical objects such as electrolyte solution, ion-exchangers, ion-selective membranes, and semiconductors. This text treats a selection of topics in electro-diffusion of ions in an aqueous medium - a nonlinear transport process whose essence is diffusion of ions combined with their migration in a selfconsistent electric field.

This is the proceedings from the ENUMATH 2009 conference in Uppsala, Sweden, in June 29- July 3, 2009, with about 100 papers by the invited speakers and the speakers in the minisymposia and contributed sessions. The volume gives an overview of contemporary techniques, algorithms and results in numerical mathematics, scientific computing and their applications.

Steven Chapra’s Applied Numerical Methods with MATLAB, third edition, is written for engineering and science students who need to learn numerical problem solving. Theory is introduced to inform key concepts which are framed in applications and demonstrated using MATLAB.
