Neuware -The Tenth LMS-EPSRC Numerical Analysis Summer School was held at the University of Durham, UK, from the 7th to the 19th of July 2002. This was the second of these schools to be held in Durham, having previously been hosted by the University of Lancaster and the University of Leicester. The purpose of the summer school was to present high quality instructional courses on topics at the forefront of numerical analysis research to postgraduate students. The speakers were Franco Brezzi, Gerd Dziuk, Nick Gould, Ernst Hairer, Tom Hou and Volker Mehrmann. This volume presents written contributions from all six speakers which are more comprehensive versions of the high quality lecture notes which were distributed to participants during the meeting. At the time of writing it is now more than two years since we first contacted the guest speakers and during that period they have given significant portions of their time to making the summer school, and this volume, a success. We would like to thank all six of them for the care which they took in the preparation and delivery of their material.Springer Verlag GmbH, Tiergartenstr. 17, 69121 Heidelberg 368 pp. Englisch.

From the Back Cover

This book contains detailed lecture notes on six topics at the forefront of current research in numerical analysis and applied mathematics. Each set of notes presents a self-contained guide to a current research area and has an extensive bibliography. In addition, most of the notes contain detailed proofs of the key results. The notes start from a level suitable for first year graduate students in applied mathematics, mathematical analysis or numerical analysis and proceed to current research topics. The reader should therefore be able to gain quickly an insight into the important results and techniques in each area without recourse to the large research literature. Current (unsolved) problems are also described and directions for future research are given. This book is also suitable for professional mathematicians who require a succint and accurate account of recent research in areas parallel to their own and graduates in mathematical sciences.
