An introduction to numerical methods and analysis (Q2742812)

Among the many books on numerical methods that are on the market this book is outstandingly appealing with regard to its style, contents, considerations of requirements of practice, presentation of theory for understanding why and how methods work, choice of examples and exercises. Though the topics treated are the traditional ones, even the expert teacher can find inspirations by studying the book. The chapter headings are: Introductory concepts and calculus preview, A survey of simple methods and tools, Root finding, Interpolation and approximation, Numerical integration, Numerical methods for ordinary differential equations, Numerical methods for the solution of systems, Approximate solution of the algebraic eigenvalue problem, A survey of finite difference methods for partial differential equations. As is becoming more and more common, the author offers a website for updates and additional material.
