Title: not an introduction to scientific computing
Review: This book could only have been written for mathematicians already well familiar with the subject. It is difficult to follow and gives next to no explanation of the code examples (which are often wrong). If you haven't already studied numerical analysis and MATLAB, this book will not help you.Worst of all, it costs a lot for a slim paperback.
