Synopsis

This book surveys the budding field of numerical analysis, which developed alongside the invention of high-powered computers in the mid-20th century. Analysis of numerical techniques used in domains as diverse as conformal mapping, solution of differential equations, and solution of systems of linear equations is presented. The author discusses the tension between the development of abstract error and complexity bounds versus empirical approaches to testing the accuracy and efficiency of numerical techniques. The book is especially useful for those seeking to understand the foundational ideas of a field poised to have a major and ongoing impact on computation and the solution of complex problems.
