Numerical Methods: Algorithms and Applications, 1/e

For upper-level undergraduate and graduate two-semester sequence courses, or for any of several different one-term courses, depending on course emphasis.

This text presents the fundamental numerical techniques used in engineering, applied mathematics, computer science, and the physical and life sciences in a manner that is both interesting and understandable. Each topic is illustrated by examples that range in complexity from very simple to moderate and are supported by geometrical or graphical illustrations where appropriate. A detailed algorithm is given for each method.

Maple 10, 1/e

Maple 10 is a computer algebra system available from Maplesoft capable of performing mathematical calculations as well as programming, and 2-D and 3-D visualizations. Maple 10 offers full computing support for any activity involving mathematics, including numerical computation, symbolic computation, data visualization and technical authoring of mathematical documents.

Students can enter and solve problems interactively, see what they have entered represented graphically, link their work to Excel spreadsheets, publish to the web in Maple applets and Java applets, and much more.

The Maple 10 Student Edition CD is only £10 when bundled with any Pearson maths title.  If the student were to purchase Maple through Maplesoft, the price would be £80
