For undergraduate Introduction to Numerical Analysis courses in mathematics, science, and engineering departments.

This book provides a fundamental introduction to numerical analysis for undergraduate students in the areas of mathematics, computer science, physical sciences, and engineering. Knowledge of calculus is assumed.

Features
  • Expanded emphasis on analysis of competing methods and issues of error.

    • Helps students understand that one can't rely blindly on a given numerical package.

  • Rewritten chapter on numerical optimisation.

    • Provides a presentation that flows more smoothly.

  • Topics for minimisation of z = f(x,y) are included.

    • Gives students a more thorough treatment that is useful here.

  • Projects for undergraduate library research experience have been added.

    • Provides students with opportunities for further study.

  • Explicit use of the software MATLAB is offered.

    • Builds on students' knowledge of structured programming and provides the opportunity to practice scientific programming.

  • Each numerical method is presented in a self-contained format.

    • Clearly explains numerical methods to students.

  • Balance of theory and application.

    • Builds on students' knowledge of calculus and basic linear algebra in a clear and readable presentation.

  • A variety of problems.

    • Sharpens students skills with extensive problem sets with a wide variety of activities.

  • A wealth of tables and graphs.

    • Illustrates computer calculations in examples making the resulting numerical approximations easier to interpret.
