Numerical Methods for Ordinary Differential Equations by David F Griffiths

Numerical Methods for Ordinary Differential Equations by David F Griffiths

Written for undergraduate students with a mathematical background, this book is a self-contained introduction to a fundamental field of numerical analysis and scientific computation. It features numerous theoretical and computational examples.

From the reviews:

“This book by Griffiths (Univof Dundee, UK) and Higham (Univ. of Strathclyde, UK) introduces the fields of numerical analysis and scientific computation. … Overall, there are many examples and exercises for students to read and try. … The work is very readable for an introductory course. An undergraduate who has completed at least the full calculus sequence should find the material interesting and accessible. Summing Up: Recommended. Lower-division undergraduates.” (S. L. Sullivan, Choice, Vol. 48 (10), June, 2011)

“There is a place for an elementary text that concentrates on the mathematical aspects while still referring to the applications of initial-value ODEs, and have set out to produce such a book. … Each chapter ends with a set of graded exercises … . In addition, there are worked examples throughout the book that illustrate the important ideas being covered. … a preparatory text for students taking a graduate course in numerical analysis. … this book is very well suited to its intended purpose.” (Philip W. Sharp, Mathematical Reviews, Issue 2012 g)

“This book provides material for a first typical course introducing numerical methods for initial-value ordinary differential equations but also highlights some new and emerging themes. … The authors include a wealth of theoretical and numerical examples that motivate and illustrate the fundamental ideas … . Although the book is aimed to be used by undergraduate students I felt that it might well be of interest to academic teachers in the field. … I highly recommend the book … .” (Rolf Dieter Grigorieff, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1209, 2011)

“This textbook introduces undergraduates in mathematics, engineering and the physical sciences to the use of numerical methods for solving ordinary differential equations. … The primary practical goal of the book is to show students what’s going on inside scientific computing software, and to give them a sense of the strengths and limitations of numerical methods. … This is an attractive, very readable introduction to the subject for students … .” (William J. Satzer, The Mathematical Association of America, May, 2011)

Higham, Desmond J.: - Des Higham is a Professor of Mathematics at the University of Strathclyde. His previous books include MATLAB Guide (with Nicholas J. Higham, 2005) and Learning LaTeX (with David F. Griffiths, 1997).
