Sandip Mazumder received his PhD from the Pennsylvania State University, and is currently Professor at The Ohio State University. His research in radiation has primarily involved developing efficient methods for solving the radiative transfer equation and coupling it to other modes of heat transfer for practical applications. Dr. Mazumder was employed at CFD Research Corporation for 7 years prior to joining Ohio State in 2004. He is the recipient of the McCarthy teaching award and the Lumley research award from the Ohio State College of Engineering, among other awards, and is a fellow of the ASME.
All in all, this is a good book for the engineering students being patient enough to study this exciting and advanced subject of numerically solving PDEs. These students will be able to analyse their computational results, compare them for several methods and use to judge on them since not all what the computer prints or draws is useful information. --Zentralblatt MATH The book is rich in examples and numerical results. Each chapter contains exercises. The book could be a valuable text for engineering students. --Mathematical Reviews, Numerical Methods for Partial Differential Equations
