Product Review
"As a mathematician who developed an interest in numerical analysis in the middle of his professional career, I thoroughly enjoyed reading this text. I wish this book had been available when I first began to take a serious interest in computation. The author's style is comfortableThis book would be my choice for a text to 'modernize' such courses and bring them closer to the current practice of applied mathematics." John Guckenheimer, American Journal of Physics
"this book succeeds. It provides an excellent introduction to the numerical analysis of differential equations and would serve perfectly as a textbook for a fourth-year undergraduate course in the mathematics curriculum." J. Varah, Computing Reviews
"The overall structure and the clarity of the exposition make this book an excellent introductory textbook for mathematics students. It seems also useful for engineers and scientists who have a practical knowledge of numerical methods and wish to acquire a better understanding of the subject." Mathematical Reviews

Product Description
This book presents a rigorous account of the fundamentals of numerical analysis of both ordinary and partial differential equations. The point of departure is mathematical but the exposition strives to maintain a balance among theoretical, algorithmic and applied aspects of the subject. In detail, topics covered include numerical solution of ordinary differential equations by multistep and Runge-Kutta methods; finite difference and finite elements techniques for the Poisson equation; a variety of algorithms to solve large, sparse algebraic systems; and methods for parabolic and hyperbolic differential equations and techniques of their analysis. The book is accompanied by an appendix that presents brief back-up in a number of mathematical topics.
