Numerical Analysis

Front Cover
Pearson Addison Wesley, 2006 - Computers - 669 pages

Numerical Analysis, designed to be used in a one-year course for students in engineering, science and mathematics, helps the student gain a deeper understanding of numerical analysis by highlighting the five major ideas of the discipline: Convergence, Complexity, Conditioning, Compression, and Orthogonality and connecting back to them throughout the text. Each chapter contains a Reality Check, an extended foray into a relevant application area that can be used as a springboard for individual or team projects. MATLAB is used throughout to demonstrate and implement numerical methods.
