Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles
available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Technical
computing is the application of the mathematical and computational
principles of scientific computing to solve practical problems of
industrial interest. The distinction between technical computing and
scientific computing is similar to the distinction between
high-performance computing and high-performance technical computing.
Technical computing may involve the use of large-scale high-performance
supercomputers, but in most cases, the technical problems may be
solvable using modern laptops or small servers.
