One Thursday Imogene wakes up with a pair of antlers growing out of her head and causes a sensation.

During recent years a great deal of interest has been devoted to large scale computing applications. This has occurred in great part because of the introduction of advanced high performance computer architectures. The book contains survey articles as well as chapters on specific research applications, development and analysis of numerical algorithms, and performance evaluation of algorithms on advanced architectures. The effect of specialized architectural features on the performance of large scale computation is also considered by several authors. Several areas of applications are represented, including the numerical solution of partial differential equations, iterative techniques for large structured problems, the numerical solution of boundary value problems for ordinary differential equations, numerical optimization, and numerical quadrature. Mathematical issues in computer architecture are also presented, including the description of grey codes for generalized hypercubes. The results presented in this volume give, in our opinion, a representative picture of today’s state of the art in several aspects of large scale computing.

A high-impact factor, prestigious annual publication containing invited surveys by subject leaders: essential reading for all practitioners and researchers.

"Geared toward advanced undergraduates or graduate students of chemical engineering studying applied mathematics, this text introduces the quantitative treatment of differential equations arising from modeling physical phenomena in chemical engineering. Coverage includes topics such as ODE-IVPs, placing emphasis on numerical methods and modeling implemented in commercial mathematical software available in 1985"--
