This book contains an introduction to scientiļ¬c computing appropriate for all lower-division college students. Its goal is to make students comfortable using computers to do science and to provide them with tools and knowledge they can utilize throughout their college careers. Its approach is to introduce the requisite
mathematics and computer science in the course of solving realistic problems. On that account care is given to indicate how each discipline uses its own language to describe the same concept, how their tools are useful to us, and how computations are often concrete examples of abstract ideas.
