JavaTech:
An Introduction to Scientific and Technical Computing with Java
By Clark
S. Lindsey, Johnny S. Tolliver, and Thomas
Lindblad
Cambridge University Press, October 2005
This JavaTech Web Course provides an extensive array of
tutorial and reference materials for the Java programming language
with an emphasis on how you can apply Java to scientific and technical
computing tasks. We particularly focus on those particular features
of Java, such as the big collection of networking and graphical
user interface tools, that are especially beneficial to those who
work in those fields.
We follow an example based teaching approach that includes many
applets and application programs to illustrate the topics under
discussion. All source codes are provided.
The online material, which we will refer to as the Web Course,
works closely with the companion book JavaTech:
Introduction to Scientific and Technical Computing with Java,
to be published by Cambridge University Press in October 2005.
Corrections to typos and other errors in the book can be found
in JavaTech book errata.
The Web Course is organized in such a way as to allow readers to
find a personalized track through the material that best matches
their particular interests and backgrounds.
The Course
