[Alejandro Teruel · Rating 4 out of 5]

Review written circa 1998

Excellent and very readable introductory or supplementary book on numerical calculus which provides a very clear exposition of the relationship between families of numerical methods.

Includes representative programs written in Fortran and Pascal.
