Editorial Review:The target audience of this book is students and researchers in computational sciences who need to develop computer codes for solving partial differential equations. The exposition is focused on numerics and software related to mathematical models in solid and fluid mechanics. The book teaches finite element methods, and basic finite difference methods from a computational point of view. The main emphasis regards development of flexible computer programs, using the numerical library Diffpack. The application of Diffpack is explained in detail for problems including model equations in applied mathematics, heat transfer, elasticity, and viscous fluid flow. Diffpack is a modern software development environment based on C++ and object-oriented programming. The second edition contains several new applications and projects, improved explanations, correction of errors, and is up to date with Diffpack version 4.0.

In a way, the book is a throwback to a time when most people learning Fortran were not computer programmers per se, but scientists and engineers who needed to solve some problem using computers. In Langtangen's book, the language of choice is C++. A good choice, given that this edition came out in 2003. C++ has one main advantage over Fortran, in its object oriented ability. The procedural aspect of Fortran has trouble scaling to very large code bodies. However, Langtangen is quick to point out that ... Read More
