Numerical Computing with IEEE Floating Point Arithmetic

SIAM, 2001

Are you familiar with the IEEE floating point arithmetic standard? Would you like to understand it better? This book gives a broad overview of numerical computing, in a historical context, with a special focus on the IEEE standard for binary floating point arithmetic. Key ideas are developed step by step, taking the reader from floating point...

Inverse Problem Theory and Methods for Model Parameter Estimation

SIAM, 2004

‘Tarantola's book is undoubtedly the most important work on probabilistic inverse theory. It presents a complete theory where a physical parameter is represented, not by a number, but by a probability distribution.’ Klaus Mosegaard, Niels Bohr Institute

The use of actual observations to infer the properties of a...

Ants, Bikes, and Clocks: Problem Solving for Undergraduates

SIAM, 2004

Mathematics educators agree that problem solving is one of the essential skills their students should possess, yet few mathematics courses or textbooks are devoted entirely to developing this skill. Supported by narrative, examples, and exercises, Ants, Bikes, and Clocks: Problem Solving for Undergraduates is a readable and enjoyable text designed...

Matrix Analysis for Scientists and Engineers

SIAM, 2004

‘I found Laub's book a delightful read. It has become the sixth valuable ‘Matrix Analysis’ book on my shelves. As well as being admirably suited for the course at which it is aimed, its conciseness and clarity of presentation, together with the good index, make it easy to use for reference. The book is recommended both as a course...

MATLAB is an interactive system for numerical computation that is widely used for teaching and research in industry and academia. It provides a modern programming language and problem solving environment, with powerful data structures, customizable graphics, and easy-to-use editing and debugging tools. This second edition of MATLAB Guide...

Understanding Search Engines: Mathematical Modeling and Text Retrieval (Software, Environments, Tools), Second Edition

SIAM, 2005

“There is no other information retrieval/search book where the heart is the mathematical foundations. This book is greatly needed to further establish information retrieval as a serious academic, as well as practical and industrial, area." ---Jaime Carbonell, Carnegie Mellon University. “Berry and Browne describe most of what...

Accuracy and Reliability in Scientific Computing (Software, Environments, Tools)

SIAM, 2005

Accuracy and Reliability in Scientific Computing can be considered a handbook for improving the quality of scientific computing. It will help computer scientists address the problems that affect software in general as well as the particular challenges of numerical computation.

Numerical software is used to test scientific...

Functions of a Complex Variable: Theory and Technique (Classics in Applied Mathematics)

SIAM, 2005

In addition to being a rewarding branch of mathematics in its own right, the theory of functions of a complex variable underlies a large number of enormously powerful techniques which find their application not only in other branches of mathematics but also in the sciences and in engineering. Chapters 1, 2, and 5 of this book provide concisely but...

Solving PDEs in C++ (Computational Science and Engineering)

SIAM, 2006

This comprehensive book not only introduces the C and C++ programming languages but also shows how to use them in the numerical solution of partial differential equations (PDEs). It leads the reader through the entire solution process, from the original PDE, through the discretization stage, to the numerical solution of the resulting algebraic...

The Structural Representation of Proximity Matrices With Matlab (ASA-SIAM Series on Statistics and Applied Probability)

SIAM, 2006

The Structural Representation of Proximity Matrices with MATLAB presents and demonstrates the use of functions within a MATLAB computational environment, affecting various structural representations for the proximity information that is assumed to be available on a set of objects. The representations included in the book have been developed...

Proceedings of the Eighth Workshop on Algorithm Engineering and Experiments and the Third Workshop (Proceedings in Applied Mathematics)

SIAM, 1987

The annual Workshop on Algorithm Engineering and Experiments (ALENEX) provides a forum for the presentation of original research in all aspects of algorithm engineering, including the implementation and experimental evaluation of algorithms and data structures. The workshop was sponsored by SIAM, the Society for Industrial and Applied...

The Lanczos and Conjugate Gradient Algorithms: From Theory to Finite Precision Computations

SIAM, 2006

"No present book comes near this one in the range and depth of treatment of these two extremely important methods—the Lanczos algorithm and the method of conjugate gradients." Chris Paige, School of Computer Science, McGill University. The Lanczos and conjugate gradient (CG) algorithms are fascinating numerical...
