Omschrijving
Focuses on the motivation and ideas behind algorithms rather than on detailed analyses of them. This book presents an overview of methods and software for solving mathematical problems arising in computational modeling and data analysis, including proper problem formulation, selection of effective solution algorithms, and interpretation of results.
