Numerical Methods 

‘Substantial, detailed and rigorous . . . readers for whom the book is intended are admirably served.’ —
Math Sci Net (Mathematical Reviews on the Web), American Mathematical Society.

Practical text strikes fine balance between students’ requirements for theoretical treatment and needs of practitioners, with best methods for large- and small-scale computing. Prerequisites are minimal (calculus, linear algebra, and preferably some acquaintance with computer programming). Text includes many worked examples, problems, and an extensive bibliography.
