Introduction to Numerical Methods in Differential Equations (Texts in Applied Mathematics, Vol. 52) (Texts in Applied Mathematics, 52) 2007th Edition by Mark H. Holmes (PDF)

Description

This book shows how to derive, test and analyze numerical methods for solving differential equations, including both ordinary and partial differential equations. The objective is that students learn to solve differential equations numerically and understand the mathematical and computational issues that arise when this is done. Includes an extensive collection of exercises, which develop both the analytical and computational aspects of the material. In addition to more than 100 illustrations, the book includes a large collection of supplemental material: exercise sets, MATLAB computer codes for both student and instructor, lecture slides and movies.

Editorial Reviews: From the Back Cover This is a textbook for upper division undergraduates and beginning graduate students. Its objective is that students learn to derive, test and analyze numerical methods for solving differential equations, and this includes both ordinary and partial differential equations. In this sense the book is constructive rather than theoretical, with the intention that the students learn to solve differential equations numerically and understand the mathematical and computational issues that arise when this is done. An essential component of this is the exercises, which develop both the analytical and computational aspects of the material. The importance of the subject of the book is that most laws of physics involve differential equations, as do the modern theories on financial assets. Moreover many computer animation methods are now based on physics based rules and are heavily invested in differential equations. Consequently numerical methods for differential equations are important for multiple areas. The author currently teaches at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and is an expert in his field. He has previously published a book with Springer, Introduction to Perturbation Methods. About the Author

⭐Of all the books I looked at during my PhD on this topic, this was the only one that I made any great use of. Most other books focus on theoretical details, and seemed complicate matters unnecessarily from a practical point of view. In terms of actually implementing numerical schemes, this book had more than enough to get me going, and is presented in a very easy to understand manner.Clearly some details are missing, but it is easy to look these up somewhere else if required. To simply get going and apply a numerical scheme to given equations, this book was indispensable to me.

⭐First, for the purposes of disclosure, let me state for the record that I took this course (Introduction to Numerical Methods for Differential Equations) from Professor Holmes at Rensselaer. At the time, he was compiling notes for the completion of this text, so he taught us from those notes. Now that the disclosure part is out of the way, I must also state that I am totally biased in this review. Professor Holmes was one of the most passionate, articulate, and knowledgeable professors I had during my mathematics career at RPI.It is nice to see Professor Holmes’s ease of explanation spill over into this written work. In class we had a different text as a resource which used overly-convoluted notation and difficult-to-follow logic and explanations. In stark contrast, Holmes’s work uses much more reasonable notation that demonstrates his true understanding of the material through the ease in which he disseminates the important information. Holmes is a standout in his field for these reasons, and I hope he continues to contribute to academia as long as he possibly can.

⭐This is a good book for an undergrad-only numerical analysis class, but for graduate level it’s too light on material. Go for Butcher’s Numerical Methods for ODEs instead.

⭐My course on Numerical Methods for Diff-Eq is using this book. The book outlines steps to solve. I think getting into this area of math, you really start getting into niche areas. Finding the right book is hard. I’ve found several others on the subject, but this has been the most appropriate, the most clear.I do wish it had some more information, examples. I REALLY wish there was a solutions manual to the problems (if there is, I’d love to know about it).Overall, it has been a good book and if you are studying this subject, it is worth getting the hard-copy. I have a digital copy I used before deciding I needed the hard-copy. I’m glad I got it. The photos are colored and I seem to just work better with it.
