A book with no audience?
Nov 14 2006
By D. Hundley
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Looking for a supplementary text for my Numerical Analysis course, I had my students pick up this text- I have found that other Outlines give a lot of excellent worked examples and provide good summaries- Not this text. If you are a beginning student, go get yourself a real text (I would highly recommend Burden and Faires, or the new text by Tim Sauer). This text offers little to no insight into the algorithms or the analysis, and spends way too much space on one dimensional interpolation problems. If you're simply looking for summaries of algorithms and practical advice on implementation, a much better text is the "Numerical Recipes" books. In summary, I'm not sure who the audience is for this book- There are many, much better, options out there.

Excellent Solutions Book for Fast Answers!
Jun 1 2006
By Dirk J. Willard
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
I've had this outline for years. My only complaint about Schaum's is that sometimes their answers are not in enough detail and their indexes are skimpy. Outlines live and die based on their detailed solutions to solved problems and their index. This particular outline is excellent. All the basic numerical methods are presented with the standard format: theory, solved problems, problems with answers. What could be added, either here, or in future text (separate) would be an optimization methods section: differential search, Hooke & Jeeves min./max. search and the Golden Mean search. The later, especially, is easy to program into Excel so it would useful to show the pitfalls in these methods. All in all, this is a text you want in your engineering collection for those problems that require detailed analysis.

Predates the computer age but a LOT of fun!
Jun 16 2009

- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
This isn't a good book on how to do numerical analysis on a computer. It's more about the methods that people used to use when they did numerical analysis with pencil and paper.
This book goes into a lot of depth into how interpolation equations are derived, and into the calculus of finite differences. Personally I think that's a beautiful subject and a lot of fun, be it useful or not - that's what math is for math's sake.
I worked all of the problems in this book when I was in high school and I recognized many of the tricks when I took a combinatorics class years later.
