Software (p. 788789)

Numeric analysis or briefly numerics continues to be one of the fastest growing areas of engineering mathematics. This is a natural trend with the ever greater availability of computing power and global Internet use. Indeed, good software implementation of numerical methods are readily available. Take a look at the updated list of Software starting on p. 788. It contains software for purchase (commercial software) and software for free download (public-domain software). For convenience, we provide Internet addresses and phone numbers. The software list includes computer algebra systems (CASs), such as Maple and Mathematica, along with the Maple Computer Guide, 10th ed., and Mathematica Computer Guide, 10th ed., by E. Kreyszig and E. J. Norminton related to this text that teach you stepwise how to use these computer algebra systems and with complete engineering examples drawn from the text. Furthermore, there is scientific software, such as IMSL, LAPACK (free download), and scientific calculators with graphic capabilities such as TI-Nspire. Note that, although we have listed frequently used quality software, this list is by no means complete.
