"In truth, it is not knowledge, but learning, not possessing, but
production, not being there, but travelling there, which provides
the greatest pleasure. When I have completely understood something,
then I turn away and move on into the dark; indeed, so curious is
the insatiable man, that when he has completed one house, rather
than living in it peacefully, he starts to build another. " Letter
from C. F. Gauss to W. Bolyai on Sept. 2, 1808 This textbook adds a
book devoted to applied mathematics to the series "Grundwissen
Mathematik. " Our goals, like those of the other books in the
series, are to explain connections and common viewpoints between
various mathematical areas, to emphasize the motivation for
studying certain prob lem areas, and to present the historical
development of our subject. Our aim in this book is to discuss some
of the central problems which arise in applications of mathematics,
to develop constructive methods for the numerical solution of these
problems, and to study the associated questions of accuracy. In
doing so, we also present some theoretical results needed for our
development, especially when they involve material which is beyond
the scope of the usual beginning courses in calculus and linear
algebra. This book is based on lectures given over many years at
the Universities of Freiburg, Munich, Berlin and Augsburg."
