Synopsis

* takes time to develop appropriate theory so that students appreciate the math behind the algorithms.* unusually comprehensive, having more content but less formal writing style than most of its competitors.* algorithms are developed in pseudocode (not FORTRAN or PASCAL).* Chs on approximating functions & numerical solution of de are exceptionally thorough; excellent coverage of splines and boundary value problems.
