Well-known, respected introduction, updated to integrate concepts and procedures associated with computers. Computation, approximation, interpolation, numerical differentiation and integration, smoothing of data, other topics in lucid presentation. Includes 150 additional problems in this edition. Bibliography.
This volume is intended to provide an introductory treatment of the fundamental processes of numerical analysis which is compatible with the expansion of the field brought about by the development of the modern high-speed calculating devices, but which also takes into account the fact that very substantial amounts ofcomputation will continue to be effected by desk calculators (and by hand or slide rule), and that familiarity with computation on a desk calculator is a desirable preliminary to largescale computation in any case. | |
