Items related to Numerical Analysis
This well-respected text gives an introduction to the modern approximation techniques and explains how, why, and when the techniques can be expected to work. The authors focus on building students' intuition to help them understand why the techniques presented work in general, and why, in some situations, they fail. With a wealth of examples and exercises, the text demonstrates the relevance of numerical analysis to a variety of disciplines and provides ample practice for students. The applications chosen demonstrate concisely how numerical methods can be, and often must be, applied in real-life situations. In this edition, the presentation has been fine-tuned to make the book even more useful to the instructor and more interesting to the reader. Overall, students gain a theoretical understanding of, and a firm basis for future study of, numerical analysis and scientific computing. A more applied text with a different menu of topics is the authors' highly regarded NUMERICAL METHODS, Third Edition.

Synopsis:
Designed to allow flexibility in the choice of topics, as well as the level of theoretical rigour and emphasis on applications, this introductory text contains workable algorithms, theory on methods and error control, and numerous exercises. A detailed structured algorithm, without program listing, is given for each significant method presented in the text, in a form that can be coded by students with even limited programming experience. This new edition features greater emphasis on graphical representation and expanded material on a variety of topics including linear algebra, growth of error, multiple integration and the Fast Fourier transform.
