Numerical Computation for Mechanical Engineers
This note introduces elementary programming concepts including variable types, data structures, and flow control. After an introduction to linear algebra and probability, it covers numerical methods relevant to mechanical engineering, including approximation, integration, solution of linear and nonlinear equations, ordinary differential equations, and deterministic and probabilistic approaches.

This book is a technical reference to the floatingpoint environment supported on SPARCTM and x86 platforms running under the Solaris operating system. The book describes the FloatingPoint Environment, the representation and computation of floating point numbers and how the results of arithmetic operations are rounded. The Software and Hardware Support section describes how numerical operations are passed between the hardware and software of the system. The book should be indispensable to anyone seeking an understanding of how numerical computations are executed and optimized on Solaris systems. In particular, it will be an asset worth having in real life for developers and engineers working in the field of numerical algorithms within this particular environment of computing and offers a deep view into performance and accuracy considerations.
