Paperback. This is a new paperback edition of probably the most important and widely read text on numerical analysis. It is the distillation of what the author learnt about the computation of matrix eigenvalues by dint of trying all methods known to him on computers he helped to make. He was establishing the special nature of these computations as he wrote, and this, along with his emphasis on understanding rather than proving theorems, resulted in aninformal and very readable work which became an almost instant classic. A new paperback edition of Wilkinson's classic, pioneering text on the computation of matrix eigenvalues. One of the most important and widely-read books on numerical analysis ever published. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

About this title

Synopsis

This volume, which became a classic on first publication, is perhaps the most important and widely read book in the field of numerical analysis. It presents a distillation of the author's pioneering discoveries concerning the computation of matrix eigenvalues. The emphasis is on the transmission of knowledge rather than elaborate proofs. The book will be valued by all practicing numerical analysts, students and researchers in the field, engineers, and scientists.

Review

" . . . a classic . . . Questions of sensitivity, and the economy and stability of many numerical methods are treated in rigorous detail, but always in a manner accessible to engineers and scientists." --Quarterly of Applied Mathematics
