Computer Science

This text takes an integrated approach to numerical methods and programming, drawing on a wide range of engineering and scientific problems, to teach Java by example. From the start, solutions are presented via a special graphics package so the student can appreciate the physical significance of the underlying mathematics. This book covers all of the Java language, its standard libraries, and utilities from an object-oriented perspective. In terms of programming, it covers object-orientation, software design, structured programming, graphical user interfacing, data representation, animation, and networking. Special emphasis is put on using a step-by-step methodology for problem solving, and a diagrammatic notation forms the basis for subsequent algorithmic development.

• Includes an early introduction to the web via a Mars Lander simulation program.
• Integrated approach to numerical methods and programming.
• Object-oriented Java from the start.
• Over 60 worked examples with complete programs and test runs.
• Six large case studies of real physical problems with animated output.
• Web-site containing all the examples, packages and answers to frequently-asked questions.
