NUMERICAL ANALYSIS, 9TH EDN

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.
