From the reviews:"This is a concise, well-written book … . The author’s staggering scheme with adaptive time steps, insensitive to the order in which the equations governing individual processes are solved, is described here and it is illustrated by an example. The book is suitable for a graduate course … ." (George J. Dvorak, Meccanica, Vol. 44, 2009)
