This book provides a comprehensive introduction to scientific computing, covering topics such as models, discretization, algorithms, programming, verification, and visualization.

The author uses an ordinary differential equation describing exponential decay processes as a case study to illustrate fundamental concepts in mathematics and computer science.

With a focus on implementation and testing, this text is easy to read and requires only a basic knowledge of calculus and programming.

It is an excellent tool for teaching and ideal for readers who want to enter the field or reinforce prior knowledge.
