Numerical Analysis 3rd Edition

Numerical Analysis is a text for students of engineering, science, mathematics, and
computer science who have completed elementary calculus and matrix algebra.
The primary goal is to construct and explore algorithms for solving science and engi-
neering problems. The not-so-secret secondary mission is to help the reader locate
these algorithms in a landscape of some potent and far-reaching principles. These
unifying principles, taken together, constitute a dynamic field of current research and
development in modern numerical and computational science.
The discipline of numerical analysis is jam-packed with useful ideas. Textbooks
run the risk of presenting the subject as a bag of neat but unrelated tricks. For a deep
understanding, readers need to learn much more than how to code Newton’s Method,
Runge–Kutta, and the Fast Fourier Transform. They must absorb the big principles,
the ones that permeate numerical analysis and integrate its competing concerns of
accuracy and efficiency
