Most of the examples are relevant for computational science. This means
that the examples have a root in mathematical subjects, but the amount
of mathematical details is kept as low as possible to enlarge the audience
and allow focusing on software and not mathematics. To appreciate and see
the relevance of the examples, it is advantageous to be familiar with basic
mathematical modeling and numerical computations. The usefulness of the
book is meant to scale with the reader's amount of experience with numerical
simulations.
