Synopsis

This accessible book acquaints students of science and engineering with the potentialities of the modern computer for solving the numerical problems that will arise in their careers. It also gives students an opportunity to hone their skills in programming and problem solving, helps them arrive at an understanding of the important subject of errors that inevitably accompanies scientific computing, and arms them with methods for detecting, predicting, and controlling these errors. A less scholarly approach and a different menu of topics sets Numerical Mathematics and Computing, Third Edition, apart from the authors' highly regarded text: Numerical Analysis: Mathematics of Scientific Computing, Second Edition.
