Introduction to the Tools of Scientific Computing provides an introduction to common programming tools and methods in numerical mathematics and scientific computing. Unlike widely used standard approaches, it does not focus on any particular language but aims to explain the key underlying concepts.
In general, new concepts are first introduced and then expanded in various scientific programming environments, such as MATLAB. This includes different approaches to distributed computing.
The fact that different languages are studied and compared also makes the book useful for mathematicians and practitioners trying to decide which programming language to use for which purposes.
The book uses MATLAB throughout and also includes examples of the Partial Differential Equation Toolbox.
