The material is designed primarily to be *accessible* to scientists and engineers who have no formal background in computer science or numerical methods. Because of this, topics such as parallelism, scalability, numerical efficiency and modernity (e.g. performance portability) are not a key focus of the material. Nonetheless, the series explains the theoretical concepts behind each algorithm and offers practical advice on how to effectively implement them including even example code in Fortran and C.
