Numerical algorithms‎,‎ modern programming techniques‎,‎ and parallel computing are often taught serially across different courses and different textbooks‎.‎ The need to integrate concepts and tools usually comes only in employment or in research ‎- after the courses are concluded ‎- forcing the student to synthesise what is perceived to be three independent subfields into one‎.‎ This book provides a seamless approach to stimulate the student simultaneously through the eyes of multiple disciplines‎,‎ leading to enhanced understanding of scientific computing as a whole‎.‎ The book includes both basic as well as advanced topics and places equal emphasis on the discretization of partial differential equations and on solvers‎.‎ Some of the advanced topics include wavelets‎,‎ high‎-order methods‎,‎ non‎-symmetric systems‎,‎ and parallelization of sparse systems‎.‎ The material covered is suited to students from engineering‎,‎ computer science‎,‎ physics and mathematics‎.‎
