Ebook: Solving Polynomial Systems Using Continuation for Engineering and Scientific Problems (Classics in Applied Mathematics)

Polynomial continuation is a numerical technique used to compute solutions to systems of polynomial equations. Originally published in 1987, this introduction to polynomial continuation remains a useful starting point for the reader interested in learning how to solve practical problems without advanced mathematics. Solving Polynomial Systems Using Continuation for Engineering and Scientific Problems is easy to understand, requiring only a knowledge of undergraduate-level calculus and simple computer programming. The book is also practical; it includes descriptions of various industrial-strength engineering applications and offers Fortran code for polynomial solvers on an associated Web page. It provides a resource for undergraduate mathematics projects.
