There is no doubt nowadays that numerical mathematics is an
essential component of any educational program. It is probably more
efficient to present such material after a strong grasp of (at
least) linear algebra and calculus has already been attained -but
at this stage those not specializing in numerical mathematics are
often interested in getting more deeply into their chosen field
than in developing skills for later use. An alternative approach is
to incorporate the numerical aspects of linear algebra and calculus
as these subjects are being developed. Long experience has
persuaded us that a third attack on this problem is the best and
this is developed in the present two volumes, which are, however,
easily adaptable to other circumstances. The approach we prefer is
to treat the numerical aspects separately, but after some
theoretical background. This is often desirable because of the
shortage of persons qualified to present the combined approach and
also because the numerical approach provides an often welcome
change which, however, in addition, can lead to better appreciation
of the fundamental concepts. For instance, in a 6-quarter course in
Calculus and Linear Algebra, the material in Volume 1 can be
handled in the third quarter and that in Volume 2 in the fifth or
sixth quarter.
