Beschreibung:Technical Computing for the Rest of Us Computers have wrought a fundamental change in the nature of research and in education in science and engineering. Experimentalists routinely use computers to collect and analyze data while theoreticians use computers to manipulate equations numerically and symbolically. For both, computer simulation studies have become an indispensable investigative tool. In response, technical education is changing to incorporate the use of computers into the curriculum both as a topic and as a medium for the presentation of technical material. The use of computers in all of these areas has been accelerating rapidly as computer hardware development has progressed to the point where every person can afford his or her own self-contained computing environment. It even seems likely that the struggle by universities and colleges to obtain funds to establish computer laboratories of desktop computers will be obviated by students bringing their own powerful notebook computers to the classroom. Yet, even as the hardware hurdle has been overcome, another obstacle has held back this 'democratic' spread of technical computing power. That hindrance has been the paucity of software that is both powerful and user-friendly. While there are software packages for carrying out various kinds of technical computing, there are few that provide a fully integrated technical computing environment, including a programming language suitable for individuals who viii PREFACE are not full-time programmers, but who need to create programs for their work
