Publisher's Synopsis
Designed to allow flexibility in the choice of topics, as well as the level of theoretical rigour and emphasis on applications, this introductory text contains workable algorithms, theory on methods and error control, and numerous exercises. A detailed structured algorithm, without program listing, is given for each significant method presented in the text, in a form that can be coded by students with even limited programming experience. This new edition features greater emphasis on graphical representation and expanded material on a variety of topics including linear algebra, growth of error, multiple integration and the Fast Fourier transform.;This book should be of interest to introductory mathematics courses including numerical analysis for degree and diploma students.
