Numerical Methods in Engineering with Python

This book is targeted primarily toward engineers and engineering students of advanced standing (juniors, seniors, and graduate students). Familiarity with a computer language is required; knowledge of engineering mechanics (statics, dynamics, and mechanics of materials) is useful, but not essential.
The text attempts to place emphasis on numerical methods, not programming. Most engineers are not programmers, but problem solvers. They want to know what methods can be applied to a given problem, what are their strengths and pitfalls, and howto implement them. Engineers are not expected to write computer code for basic tasks from scratch; they are more likely to utilize functions and subroutines that have been already written and tested. Thus, programming by engineers is largely confined to assembling existing bits of code into a coherent package that solves the problem at hand.
