Summary

This text is for an introductory course in what is commonly called numerical analysis, numerical methods, or even numerical calculus. While it parallels the development in Course B4 on Numerical Calculus in the proposed Curriculum in Computer Science issued by the Association for Computing Machinery, this book is designed for any science or engineering student who has completed his first course in calculus, and who has at least a passing knowledge of elementary computer programming in FORTRAN. This is a practical book for the student who, in addition to seeing the theory of numerical methods, also likes to see the results; the predominant emphasis is on specific methods and computer solutions. It often points out where the theory departs from practice, and it illustrates each method of computer solution by an actual computer program and its results.
