This is a concise and effective book to introduce the reader to spectral differentiation.
As the author states, it requires the reader to have some familiarity with ordinary and partial differential equations. Yet beyond that, the author does a fine job of walking the reader through a number of fundamental concepts & applications, introducing the basic concepts clearly, and then providing working sample MATLAB code to solve problems of that type. This code can be implemented directly or modified for additional elegance or to expand it's usefulness.
Of all the textbooks I have used over the course of a near 30 year engineering career, a 5 year teaching career, and an educational journey from preschool through PhD, this concise little books stands as one of the most effective for its stated purpose and intent.
