Description:

Second edition of Robert D. Richtmyer and K. W. Morton’s important technical work on finite-difference methods for solving initial-value problems, particularly partial differential equations arising in mathematical physics. The book covers the mathematical foundations, stability and convergence of difference schemes, and computational approaches applicable to fluid dynamics, wave propagation and other problems in applied mathematics and physics.

Richtmyer was a prominent mathematical physicist whose work contributed substantially to computational methods used in hydrodynamics and shock-wave physics. Coauthor K. W. Morton became an influential figure in numerical analysis and the development of computational methods for partial differential equations. This volume became a significant reference in the development of modern numerical and scientific computing.

This copy has the ownership provenance of William G. Lussie, a nuclear engineer associated with the Livermore/Idaho nuclear research community. His name appears inside the book. The provenance is particularly relevant to this title because numerical methods of this type were fundamental tools in nuclear engineering, reactor physics and computational research during this period.

Condition:

Very good vintage hardcover copy. Binding is tight and pages are clean and unmarked. Light exterior shelf wear consistent with age. Previous owner William G. Lussie’s name is written inside. Please review photos for the exact condition and appearance of this copy.

See photos for details and please reach out if you have any further questions.

Thank you,
