Methods, Software, and Analysis

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

This book is the first part of a modern, two-volume introduction on numerical computation, which strongly emphasises software aspects. It can serve as a textbook for courses on numerical analysis, in particular, for engineers. The book can also be used as a reference book and it includes an extensive bibliography. The author was involved in the creation of the software package QUADPACK.
