| Summary: | This textbook provides an introduction to the world of numerical modeling in the physical sciences and, specifically, within Earth and planetary sciences. It is designed to lead the reader through the process of defining the mathematical/physical model of interest, applying numerical methods (here mostly finite differences) to approximate and explore solutions of these models, and assessing quantitatively the limitations, performance, and quality of these approximation. The book is designed to provide a self-contained reference, including the mathematical foundations required to understand the models and their convergence. It includes a detailed discussion of models for ordinary systems of equation and partial differential equations. It is done in a systematic way to introduce a workflow suitable to develop proper and effective practices. It is illustrated with numerous examples drawn from Earth and planetary sciences. The content of this book has been used by the author to teach numerical methods classes at the undergraduate and graduate levels. |
