Elementary Numerical Analysis 3rd Edition

Transcript

This book provides an introduction to numerical analysis and is intended to be used by undergraduates in the sciences, mathematics, and engineering. The main prerequisite is a one-year course in the calculus of functions of one variable, but some familiarity with computers is also needed. With this background, the book can be used for a sophomore level course in numerical analysis. The last four chapters of the book present numerical methods for linear algebra, ordinary differential equations, and partial differential equations. A background in these subjects would be helpful, but these chapters include the necessary introduction to the theory of these subjects.
