This book succinctly covers the key topics of numerical methods.
While it is basically a survey of the subject, it has enough depth
for the student to walk away with the ability to implement the
methods by writing computer programs or by applying them to
problems in physics or engineering. The author manages to cover the
essentials while avoiding redundancies and using well-chosen
examples and exercises.The exposition is supplemented by numerous
figures. Work estimates and pseudo codes are provided for many
algorithms, which can be easily converted to computer programs.
Topics covered include interpolation, the fast Fourier transform,
iterative methods for solving systems of linear and nonlinear
equations, numerical methods for solving ODEs, numerical methods
for matrix eigenvalue problems, approximation theory, and computer
arithmetic. In general, the author assumes only a knowledge of
calculus and linear algebra. The book is suitable as a text for a
first course in numerical methods for mathematics students or
students in neighboring fields, such as engineering, physics, and
computer science.
