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.
Theoretical Numerical Analysis: An Introduction to Advanced Techniques by Peter Linz Concise text focuses on fundamentals of functional analysis and approximation theory, the major results of theoretical numerical analysis; and specific topics that illustrate the power and usefulness of theoretical analysis. 1979 edition.
Methods of Applied Mathematics by Francis B. Hildebrand Offering a number of mathematical facts and techniques not commonly treated in courses in advanced calculus, this book explores linear algebraic equations, quadratic and Hermitian forms, the calculus of variations, more.
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.
Splines and Variational Methods by P. M. Prenter This introductory treatment explains the application of theoretic notions to physical problems that engineers regularly encounter. Only a minimal background in linear algebra and analysis is required. 1975 edition.
Foundations of Measurement Volume I: Additive and Polynomial Representations by David H. Krantz, R. Duncan Luce, Amos Tversky, Patrick Suppes All of the sciences have a need for quantitative measurement. This influential series established the formal foundations for measurement, justifying the assignment of numbers to objects in terms of their structural correspondence. 1971 edition.

Introductory Numerical Analysis by Anthony J. Pettofrezzo Written for undergraduates who require a familiarity with the principles behind numerical analysis, this classical treatment encompasses finite differences, least squares theory, and harmonic analysis. Over 70 examples and 280 exercises. 1967 edition.
Interpolation: Second Edition by J. F. Steffensen In the mathematical subfield of numerical analysis, interpolation is a procedure that assists in "reading between the lines." Topics include displacement symbols and differences, divided differences, formulas of interpolation, much more. 1950 edition.
The Theory of Matrices in Numerical Analysis by Alston S. Householder This text presents selected aspects of matrix theory that are most useful in developing computational methods for solving linear equations and finding characteristic roots. Topics include norms, bounds and convergence; localization theorems; more. 1964 edition.
