Presents standard numerical approaches for solving common mathematical problems in engineering using Python.

• Covers the most common numerical calculations used by engineering students
• Covers Numerical Differentiation and Integration, Initial Value Problems, Boundary Value Problems, and Partial Differential Equations
• Focuses on open ended, real world problems that require students to write a short report/memo as part of the solution process
• Includes an electronic download of the Python codes presented in the book
