This book emphasizes the general area of nonlinear engineering problems with an in depth discussion of selected computer algorithms for solving nonlinear problems coupled with appropriate examples of such nonlinear engineering models. This introductory chapter provides a general discussion of the theme of the book as well as laying the foundation for subsequent chapters. Many books covering somewhat similar themes to this book have somewhere in their title the term “Numerical Methods”. It is certainly true that this book discusses, develops and uses many numerical methods. However, numerical techniques are viewed here as a means to an end. They are simply the techniques used by modern digital computers to solve engineering problems. The end objective of this work is to provide tools and techniques in order for the practicing engineer to understand and model engineering problems. In general such problems are nonlinear in nature; hence the title Numerical Methods for Nonlinear Engineering Models.
