This text features the principles involved in numerical analysis. Its main theme is interpolation of the standpoint of finite differences, least squares theory, and harmonic analysis. Also covers the numerical solutions of ordinary differential equations and approximation through Fourier series. Over 70 examples and 280 exercises. Includes 16 figures and 33 tables. 1967 edition. Unabridged republication of the edition published by D. D. Heath & Co., Boston, 1967.
A First Course in Numerical Analysis: Second Edition by Anthony Ralston, Philip Rabinowitz Outstanding text, oriented toward computer solutions, stresses errors in methods and computational efficiency. Problems — some strictly mathematical, others requiring a computer — appear at the end of each chapter.
Introduction to Numerical Analysis : Second Edition by F. B. Hildebrand Well-known, respected introduction, updated to integrate concepts and procedures associated with computers. Computation, approximation, interpolation, numerical differentiation and integration, smoothing of data, more. Includes 150 additional problems in this edition.
