I strongly recommend this book. It gives insights that no other books give. A solid mathematical background and a wide scope are the fundamental book characteristics. ...more [2] Rating: 5 Date: 2002-06-24 Summary: Absolutely Accept No Substitute ... This book is really well organised, and the theory is well presented, particularly Chapter 1. It is among the few which I highly recommend, and it is value for money. ...more [3] Rating: 5 Date: 2007-07-25 Summary: very complete and useful ... I bought this book several years ago, and keep going back and study more in it. As usual, I didn't read it from front to back. Instead I started from the middle, jumped around and then settled for chapter 7. That's mainly a review of continuum mechanics, and one of the reasons I keep this book handy. It is very comprehensive and very clear. I think the reason Simo and Hughes could explain things so clear is because they just really deeply understood it. There is hardly any superfluous talking or name dropping, it's ...more Editorial Reviews — ... Product Description | This book describes the theoretical foundations of inelasticity, its numerical formulation and implementation. The subject matter described herein constitutes a representative sample of state-of-the- art methodology currently used in inelastic calculations. Among the numerous topics covered are small deformation plasticity and viscoplasticity, convex optimization theory, integration algorithms for the constitutive equation of plasticity and viscoplasticity, the variational setting of boundary...more Applied Computational Fluid Dynamics Techniques: An Introduction Based on Finite Element Methods Editorial Reviews — ... Product Description | Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is concerned with the efficient numerical solution of the partial differential equations that describe fluid dynamics. CFD techniques are commonly used in the many areas of engineering where fluid behavior is an important factor. Traditional fields of application include aerospace and automotive design, and more recently, bioengineering and consumer and medical electronics. With Applied Computational Fluid Dynamics Techniques, 2nd edition, Rainald Löhner...more Gröbner Bases in Symbolic Analysis (Radon Series on Computational and Applied Mathematics) Editorial Reviews — ...

When I first got ahold of this book I had just finished learning all the gory details of good numerical codes. But when developing tests for simple cases I found that development went way too slow, so someone suggested I learn Python. This book provides a great demonstration of how python can supplement your existing codes. Either by organizing the tests, formatting output, or just adding pretty interfaces. This book contains a lot of the necessary extras that a scientist or engineer must do to get his work going or ...more [2] Rating: 4 Date: 2006-11-13 Summary: strong computational emphasis ... Langtangen's emphasis here is on a reader who comes from a strong background in engineering or science, and is familiar with common computational ideas and has done some programming, but not necessarily in Python. The typical book on Python is aimed at a general programming reader, and the examples in such a book usually are quite elementary, from a computational viewpoint. The merit of Langtangen's book is that he gets into a lot of computational ideas. This is not a trivial book. Aspects like parsing data in files, ...more [3] Rating: 5 Date: 2008-04-05 Summary: good book ... If you want to learn Python, you should get it. Author do not build some "big" application (like "internet store software" or "bookstore software") from beginning to end, but rather give you a lot of practical examples of using python. It is not like in others book that examples include only learned functions/methods, but use topics from the rest of book (you have example on page 25 and note that explanation of this and that function you found on page 543). By that you have interesting examples to use in real-world ...more Editorial Reviews — ... Product Description | The goal of this book is to teach computational scientists how to develop tailored, flexible, and human-efficient working environments built from small programs (scripts) written in the easy-to-learn, high-level language Python. The focus is on examples and applications of relevance to computational scientists: gluing existing applications and tools, e.g. for automating simulation, data analysis, and visualization; steering simulations and computational experiments; equipping old programs...more Complex Adaptive Systems: An Introduction to Computational Models of Social Life (Princeton Studies in Complexity) Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 4 Date: 2008-06-20 Summary: Good Overview ... The authors do an excellent job of introducing the field to an educated audience. Any one who has a general college level education can read and understand the basics after reading the book. Tables and charts succinctly illustrate points Miller and Page make and illucidate the text. If you are looking for a book that discusses progamming, how to do, or other deeper aspects of the field, you will be disappointed. However, if you are just curious and want a good general introduction to the field, perhaps with the goal ...more [2] Rating: 4 Date: 2008-03-31 Summary: Depending on your interest.. ... I found this book to be a bit more technical than I expected. Very good reference book. ...more [3] Rating: 5 Date: 2008-05-31 Summary: Best in Class, Very Technical, Saluting and Moving On ... Sometime I encounter books that are extremely important, that give me an appreciation for a knowledge domain I do not know enough about, and that I simply cannot read and review. This book, and Generative Social Science: Studies in Agent-Based Computational Modeling (Princeton Studies in Complexity) are two such books. I got half-way through this one, did the introduction to the other, from which I was immediately grabbed by the concept of: "instead of explaining it, can you grow it?"

Product Description | This book provides the first clear, comprehensive, and accessible account of complex adaptive social systems, by two of the field's leading authorities. Such systems--whether political parties, stock markets, or ant colonies--present some of the most intriguing theoretical and practical challenges confronting the social sciences. Engagingly written, and balancing technical detail with intuitive explanations, Complex Adaptive Systems focuses on the key tools and ideas that have emerged...more Statistical Methods in Bioinformatics: An Introduction (Statistics for Biology and Health) Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 5 Date: 2004-11-26 Summary: Most Elegant Account of Bioinformatics ... I was impressed with the 1st edition of this book for its most comprehensive and elegant of statistical techniques in bioinformatics. The book is slightly below the level of the now classic M S Waterman (1995)book:Introduction to Computational Biology: Maps, Sequences and Genomes (Interdisciplinary Statistics). But this book is more update in some areas and has much more background materials on probability and statistics, which should provide a solid basis for understanding bioinformatics. Its pedagorical sense is ...more [2] Rating: 5 Date: 2007-10-10 Summary: Lots of material made accessible ... I'm a Statistics PhD student so you can condition on my prior to get at what's really going on with this book. Bioinformatics is a departure from "regular" statistics and looks awfully messy at first pass. The sorts of assumptions one typically makes in other areas of statistical inference are patently false, so new techniques and intuitions have to be built up in order to attack these kinds of problems. This book does an excellent job of balancing the technical details with the necessary intuitions so one can really ...more [3] Rating: 4 Date: 2008-05-07 Summary: Digital library is not that usable - book itself is great ...

Python Scripting for Computational Science is both an introduction to the Python language and an excellent reference for the intermediate developer. The approach taken by the author is to present the language in the form of tasks to be solved accompanied by example code. As expected for a book on scientific computing the modules covered in the examples emphasize numerical packages but this in no way detracts from the applicability to general Python enthusiast. What really makes this book more than just another Python ...more [2] Rating: 5 Date: 2008-04-05 Summary: good book ... If you want to learn Python, you should get it.

A nice introduction material. You will learn how complex phenomena are currently studied . I will use this book as an intro material to complex systems in my economics course.
