About this title

Synopsis:

Acquainting the reader with the modern computer's potential for solving the numerical problems that arise in their careers, this text also provides them with an opportunity to hone their skills in programming and problem solving and helps them arrive at an understanding of the important subject of errors that inevitably accompany scientific computing and arms them with methods for detecting, predicting, and controlling these errors.

Review:

"My overall impression is that [the text] presents the material more clearly, usually without unnecessary generality and without burying the ideas in too much notation. Students at this level can be 'blown away' just by notational matters. This book avoids this most of the time, especially when presenting the basic mathematical discussions of the numerical methods considered. I have also found the material devoted to the derivations of the methods very well written."
