Numerical Methods in Engineering with Python

Numerical Methods in Engineering with Python is a text for engineer-

ing students and a reference for practicing engineers, especially those

who wish to explore the power and efﬁciency of Python. The choice of

numerical methods was based on their relevance to engineering prob-

lems. Every method is discussed thoroughly and illustrated with prob-

lems involving both hand computation and programming. Computer

code accompanies each method and is available on the book web site.

This code is made simple and easy to understand by avoiding complex

book-keeping schemes, while maintaining the essential features of the

method Python was chosen as the example language because it is ele-

gant, easy to learn and debug, and its facilities for handling arrays are

unsurpassed. Moreover, it is an open-source software package that can

be downloaded freely on the web. Python is a great language for teaching

scientiﬁc computation.

Jaan Kiusalaas is a Professor Emeritus in the Department of Engineer-

ing Science and Mechanics at the Pennsylvania State University. He has

taught computer methods, including ﬁnite element and boundary ele-

ment methods, for over 30 years. He is also the co-author of four other

books— EngineeringMechanics: Statics, EngineeringMechanics:Dynam-

ics, Mechanics of Materials , and an alternate version of this work with

MATLAB ®

code.
