Publisher's Synopsis
This unusually comprehensive and well written text develops the appropriate theory gradually, ensuring students appreciate the mathematics behind the algorithms. There are excellent chapters on approximating functions and numerical solution of differential equations, with thorough coverage of splines and boundary value problems. Algorithms are developed in pseudocode, not FORTRAN or PASCAL. There is additional coverage of Fast Fourier transform.;This book should be of interest to intermediate mathematics, engineering and computer science undergraduates taking courses in numerical analysis.
