  Abstract:  Scientific computing is not numerical analysis, the analysis of algorithms, high performance computing or computer graphics. It consists instead of the combina- tion of all these fields and others to craft solution strategies for applied problems. It is the original application area of computers and remains the most important. From meteorology to plasma physics, environmental protection, nuclear energy, genetic engineering, symbolic computation, network optimization, financial appli- cations and many other fields, scientific applications are larger, more ambitious, more complex, and more necessary. More and more universities introduce a De- partment of Scientific Computing or a Department of Computational Science. The components of this new department include Applied Mathematics, Theoretical Physics, Computer Science and Electronic Engineering. Classical and Quantum Computing provides a self-contained, systematic and comprehensive introduction to all the subjects and techniques important in scientific computing. The style and presentation are readily accessible to under- graduates and graduates. A large number of examples, accompanied by complete C++ and Java code wherever possible, cover every topic.
