| Numerical Analysis By Richard L. Burden |
This well-respected text gives an introduction to the theory and
application of modern numerical approximation techniques for students
taking a one- or two-semester course in numerical analysis. With an
accessible treatment that only requires a calculus prerequisite, Burden
and Faires explain how, why, and when approximation techniques can be
expected to work, and why, in some situations, they fail. A wealth of
examples and exercises develop students' intuition, and demonstrate the
subject's practical applications to important everyday problems in math,
computing, engineering, and physical science disciplines. The first
book of its kind built from the ground up to serve a diverse
undergraduate audience, three decades later Burden and Faires remains
the definitive introduction to a vital and practical subject.
