Synopsis

Theory and Applications of Numerical Analysis is a self-contained Second Edition, providing an introductory account of the main topics in numerical analysis. The book emphasizes both the theorems which show the underlying rigorous mathematics andthe algorithms which define precisely how to program the numerical methods. Both theoretical and practical examples are included.

• a unique blend of theory and applications
• two brand new chapters on eigenvalues and splines
• inclusion of formal algorithms
• numerous fully worked examples
• a large number of problems, many with solutions

About this title

From the Back Cover:

This long-awaited Second Edition of Phillips and Taylor's highly successful text book provides a comprehensive introduction to numerical analysis. Over the two decades since the First Edition appeared there has been a dramatic explosion in computing power, from desk machine to personal computer, developments which have greatly enhanced the sheer fun of studying numerical analysis. The Second Edition builds on this, giving more emphasis to algorithms and encouraging their implementation on the pc.

This text book is not simply a 'recipe book' of numerical methods; it is one for serious students and researchers who want to understand the underlying theory, solve real numerical problems and write programs of their own.

About the Author:

George M. Phillips is Reader in Mathematics at the University of St. Andrews, UK. His longstanding collaboration in mathematics has encompassed both teaching and research. Both authors have published many papers in numerical analysis and approximation theory.

Peter J. Taylor is a retired Senior Lecturer from the University of Strathclyde, UK. His longstanding collaboration in mathematics has encompassed both teaching and research. Both authors have published many papers in numerical analysis and approximation theory.
