Introduction to Scientific Computing
Part I describes the digital computer in terms of technology and systems design concepts. Chapters 1 and 2 provide certain background information necessary to understand and recognize the characteristics of a computing system designed to solve scientific computing problems, and they also define the role of the digital computer as a modern problem-solving tool. Chapter 3 comprises material helpful for a clear understanding of the remaining chapters, especially those m Part III, and it is presented principally for the sake of definitions and uniform terminology. The material on operating systems has been included since students who have had an introduction to programming may not necessarily have an understanding of operating systems, monitor programs, and such related concepts as input-output control, throughout, turnaround-time, and operating efficiency. This chapter also deals with properties and characteristics of high-level programming languages suitable for scientific problem solving. It is assumed that the reader already knows one of these languages and is familiar with its syntax and external specifications. The intent is to enhance and complement this basic information rather than to teach how to design an artificial language or construct a compiler. An abridged version of Part 1 was taught to students ranging in level from second-year undergraduates in engineering and science and third- and fourth-year undergraduates in applied mathematics to graduate students in engineering.
