Theory and Applications of Numerical Analysis is a self-contained Second Edition, providing an introductory account of the main topics in numerical analysis. The book emphasizes both the theorems which show the underlying rigorous mathematics andthe algorithms which define precisely how to program the numerical methods. Both theoretical and practical examples are included.

Key Features

a unique blend of theory and applications
two brand new chapters on eigenvalues and splines
inclusion of formal algorithms
numerous fully worked examples
a large number of problems, many with solutions
