Practical text strikes fine balance between students' requirements for theoretical treatment and needs of practitioners, with best methods for large- and small-scale computing. Prerequisites are minimal (calculus, linear algebra, and preferably some acquaintance with computer programming). Text includes many worked examples, problems, and an extensive bibliography. 1974 edition. Unabridged republication of the edition published by Prentice-Hall, Inc. Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey, 1974.
Analysis of Numerical Methods by Eugene Isaacson, Herbert Bishop Keller Excellent advanced-undergraduate and graduate text covers norms, numerical solutions of linear systems and matrix factoring, eigenvalues and eigenvectors, polynomial approximation, much more. Features examples and problems. 1966 edition. Bibliography.
Numerical Methods for Scientists and Engineers by Richard Hamming This inexpensive paperback edition of a groundbreaking text stresses frequency approach in coverage of algorithms, polynomial approximation, Fourier approximation, exponential approximation, other topics. Revised and enlarged 2nd edition.
Monte Carlo Principles and Neutron Transport Problems by Jerome Spanier, Ely M. Gelbard This introductory treatment focuses on methods of superposition and reciprocity, illustrating applications that include computation of thermal neutron fluxes and the superposition principle in resonance escape computations. 1969 edition.
Real Computing Made Real: Preventing Errors in Scientific and Engineering Calculations by Forman S. Acton This concise guide to trouble-shooting offers practical advice on detecting and removing the bugs, preserving significant figures, avoiding extraneous solutions, and finding efficient iterative processes for solving nonlinear equations. 1996 edition.
Applied Iterative Methods by Louis A. Hageman, David M. Young This graduate-level text examines the practical use of iterative methods in solving large, sparse systems of linear algebraic equations and in resolving multidimensional boundary-value problems. 1981 edition. Includes 48 figures and 35 tables.
