Nonetheless, its interdisciplinary character cannot be denied: its methodologies are increasingly used in a wide variety of branches of science and engineering.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eA Gentle Introduction to Scientific Computing\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e intends to serve a very broad audience of college students across a variety of disciplines. It aims to expose its readers to some of the basic tools and techniques used in computational science, with a view to helping them understand what happens \"behind the scenes\" when simple tools such as solving equations, plotting and interpolation are used.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTo make the book as practical as possible, the authors explore their subject both from a theoretical, mathematical perspective and from an implementation-driven, programming perspective.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFeatures\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eMiddle-ground approach between theory and implementation.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eSuitable reading for a broad range of students in STEM disciplines.
