Technical Java: Applications for Science and Engineering

The first book to focus on using Java to develop scientific and engineering programs.

• A real technical programming book written by a real scientific programmer.
• Shows how Java can specifically be used to develop GUI or Web-based front-ends to scientific or engineering programs.
• Written for scientists and engineers learning Java as their first programming language or for those transitioning to Java from FORTRAN or C.

Advanced Java for Engineers and Scientists gives the reader all the information needed to use Java to create powerful, versatile, and flexible scientific and engineering applications. The book is full of practical example problems and valuable tips. Grant Palmer, a research scientist himself, goes in-depth into advanced technical programming concepts applicable to scientific-oriented applications, such as solving differential equations, data modeling, integration of functions, and creating generic class libraries. The last section of the book shows readers how Java can be used to develop GUI or Web-based front-ends to scientific or engineering programs.

Grant Palmer is a scientific programmer with the ELORET Corporation under contract with NASA to develop analysis programs in the fields of fluid dynamics, thermodynamics, and thermal response. He has written three previous books on Java programming.
