For one or two-semester undergraduate/graduate-level courses in Numerical Analysis/Methods in mathematics departments, CS departments, and all engineering departments. This student-friendly text develops concepts and techniques in a clear, concise, easy-to-read manner, followed by fully-worked examples. Application problems drawn from the literature of many different fields prepares students to use the techniques covered to solve a wide variety of practical problems.
The book forces it self to be 'friendly', which in the author's understanding is incorporating applications. So all sections have some sort of application, in most cases not related in essence to what is the subject of that section. The book could have easily been cut by 25%.
