The starting point in the formulation of any numerical problem is
to take an intuitive idea about the problem in question and to
translate it into precise mathematical language. This book provides
step-by-step descriptions of how to formulate numerical problems so
that they can be solved by existing software. It examines various
types of numerical problems and develops techniques for solving
them. A number of engineering case studies are used to illustrate
in detail the formulation process. The case studies motivate the
development of efficient algorithms that involve, in some cases,
transformation of the problem from its initial formulation into a
more tractable form.
