Suitable for a first year graduate course, this textbook unites the applications of numerical mathematics and scientific computing to the practice of chemical engineering. Written in a pedagogic style, the book describes basic linear and nonlinear algebric systems all the way through to stochastic methods, Bayesian statistics and parameter estimation. These subjects are developed at a level of mathematics suitable for graduate engineering study without the exhaustive level of the theoretical mathematical detail. The implementation of numerical methods in MATLAB is integrated within each chapter and numerous examples in chemical engineering are provided, with a library of corresponding MATLAB programs. This book will provide the graduate student with essential tools required by industry and research alike. Supplementary material includes solutions to homework problems set in the text, MATLAB programs and tutorial, lecture slides, and complicated derivations for the more advanced reader. These are available online at www.cambridge.org/9780521859714.

    5.0 out of 5 stars excellent intro to applied math, not just for chemical engineers
    Reviewed in the United States on July 23, 2007
    This is extremely well written, combining both intuition and rigour. It has good accompanying matlab demos. It should be of interest to many people who use numerical methods (integration, optimization, eigen analysis, etc), not just chemical engineers.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Alot of extraneous info, but still very good
    Reviewed in the United States on August 30, 2009

    Its a good book. There is a little too much focus on proof and derivation, but you can still just skim those parts and study the algorithms intently, and you will be just fine.

    Very broad in scope; covers multiple linear equations, multiple nonlinear equations, optimization w/ gradient search and stochastic search, and monte-carlo methods.

    The section on stochastic differential equations is somewhat lacking though.

    3.0 out of 5 stars So-So Book on Numerical Methods
    Reviewed in the United States on June 29, 2015

    Explanations are somewhat confusing -- you need a strong math background as the book skips many steps while going through derivations.

    Practice problems are somewhat helpful -- however, they lack in-depth solutions and are often significantly harder than the examples that are provided.

    2.0 out of 5 stars Not a good numerical methods book.
    Reviewed in the United States on January 8, 2013
    I received a pre-release copy of this book (probably the last draft) before it was published when I took 10.34 (the MIT Department of Chemical Engineering numerical methods class) in Fall 2006. The main problem I had with the book (in that form) is that the discussion of linear algebra in the text is wrong (unless you specifically restrict it to the positive definite case; both of my advisers taught the class over my time in graduate school, and one of them pointed out the errors in the text -- repeatedly). The book was typeset in Word instead of LaTeX, which isn't an error so much as it does not inspire confidence (as most mathematical work is typeset in LaTeX).

    To be fair, writing a good numerical methods textbook is tough. Numerical methods is a required course in many graduate chemical engineering programs, and other programs elect to give their students course notes (the University of Wisconsin and the University of Delaware are two examples I know of). Beers made an admirable attempt, and specifically includes chemical engineering applications, but the factual errors in an important, foundational subject in numerical methods make it difficult for me to recommend this book.

    Reviewed in the United States on April 5, 2014
    I like the exercises but the book doesn't do a good job on teaching numerical methods. The typesetting of the book is horrible and makes reading annoying.
