„This is an excellent textbook for a numerical analysiscourse although it will be difficult to cover all the material injust one course. Because the text is so complete, it could aswell be used for self-study.“ (American MathematicalSociety, 1 August 2014)
An Introduction to Numerical Methods and Analysis
von James F. EppersonPraise for the First Edition
„. . . outstandingly appealing with regard to its style, contents, considerations of requirements of practice, choice ofexamples, and exercises.“--Zentralblatt MATH
„. . . carefully structured with many detailed workedexamples.“--The Mathematical Gazette
The Second Edition of the highly regarded An Introductionto Numerical Methods and Analysis provides a fully revisedguide to numerical approximation. The book continues to beaccessible and expertly guides readers through the many availabletechniques of numerical methods and analysis.
An Introduction to Numerical Methods and Analysis, SecondEdition reflects the latest trends in the field, includes newmaterial and revised exercises, and offers a unique emphasis onapplications. The author clearly explains how to both construct andevaluate approximations for accuracy and performance, which are keyskills in a variety of fields. A wide range of higher-level methodsand solutions, including new topics such as the roots ofpolynomials, spectral collocation, finite element ideas, andClenshaw-Curtis quadrature, are presented from an introductoryperspective, and the Second Edition also features:
* Chapters and sections that begin with basic, elementarymaterial followed by gradual coverage of more advancedmaterial
* Exercises ranging from simple hand computations to challengingderivations and minor proofs to programming exercises
* Widespread exposure and utilization of MATLAB
* An appendix that contains proofs of various theorems and othermaterial
The book is an ideal textbook for students in advancedundergraduate mathematics and engineering courses who areinterested in gaining an understanding of numerical methods andnumerical analysis.
