New Titles from SIAM

SIAM is pleased to announce the recent publication of the following books:
Exact and Approximate Modeling of Linear Systems: A Behavioral Approach
Ivan Markovsky, Jan C. Willems, Sabine Van Huffel, and Bart De Moor
March 2006
Elegantly introduces the behavioral approach to mathematical modeling,
an approach that requires models to be viewed as sets of possible
outcomes rather than to be a priori bound to particular
representations. The authors discuss exact and approximate fitting of
data by linear, bilinear, and quadratic static models and linear
dynamic models, a formulation that enables readers to select the most
suitable representation for a particular purpose.
Solving PDEs in C++: Numerical Methods in a Unified Object-Oriented Approach
Yair Shapira
January 2006
"There are dozens of excellent books on C++ and object-oriented
programming, but very few of them put the language into the perspective
of scientific computing. The introductory part of the present book acts
as a language introduction, while the main contents focus on how C++
can be used to implement numerical algorithms. I would say that this is
a long-awaited type of textbook in the scientific computing
community." -- Hans Petter Langtangen, Professor, Simula Research
Laboratory and University of Oslo, Norway.
