Contents:
Preface. Ch. 1. Mathematical preliminaries and error analysis. - Ch. 2. Solutions of equations of one variable. - Ch. 3. Interpolation and polynomial approximation. - Ch. 4. Numerical integration and differentiation. - Ch. 5. Numerical solution of initial-value problems. - Ch. 6. Direct methods for solving linear systems. - Ch. 7. Iterative methods for solving linear systems. - Ch. 8. Approximation theory. - Ch. 9. Approximating eigenvalues. - Ch. 10. Solutions of systems of nonlinear equations. - Ch. 11. Boundary-value problems for ordinary differential equations. - Ch. 12. Numerical methods for partial differential equations. - Bibliography. - Answers for numerical methods. - Index.
Summary: "The emphasis in this book is on the intelligence application of approximation techniques to the types of problems that commonly occur in engineering and the physical and computer science. The book is designed for a one semester course but contains more material, so instructors have flexibility in topic coverage and students have a reference for future work. In this book, each technique is motivated and describe from an implementation standpoint. The aim of the motivation is to convince the student that the method is reasonable both mathematically and computationally. A full mathematical justification is included only if it is concise and adds to the understanding of the method." - Preface.
