This is a broad ranging introductory text on applied numerical modelling and simulation. It covers many techniques and develops the relevant mathematics in parallel. The material is presented in the context of realistic practical examples. Many of the end-of-chapter exercises may be treated as open-ended projects which can be easily extended. The presentation makes the text easy to assimilate with a progression of concepts chapter by chpater. The more difficult material is assembled towards the end of the book. Each chapter has a list of references to accessible texts as well as journal publications which should provide pointers for research projects. The provision of software code in a range of languages should help the user to make rapid use of the material. This textbook will broaden the understanding of engineers and others using models leading to better and more productive modelling.
