The Second Edition of the highly regarded An Introductionto Numerical Methods and Analysis provides a fully revisedguide to numerical approximation. The book continues to beaccessible and expertly guides readers through the many availabletechniques of numerical methods and analysis.An Introduction to Numerical Methods and Analysis, SecondEdition reflects the latest trends in the field, includes newmaterial and revised exercises, and offers a unique emphasis onapplications. The author clearly explains how to both construct andevaluate approximations for accuracy and performance, which are keyskills in a variety of fields. A wide range of higher-level methodsand solutions, including new topics such as the roots ofpolynomials, spectral collocation, finite element ideas, andClenshaw-Curtis quadrature, are presented from an introductoryperspective, and the Second Edition also features:
