Numerical Analysis
This book covers key topics in the study area of Numerical Analysis. Numerical methods for the solution of differential equations have become particularly popular in recent years because modern technical problems lead to complicated equations seldom solvable in finite terms and also because calculating machines and electronic computers have become widely available. The numerical approach also has the advantage of allowing the actual work to be carried out by operators without a knowledge of higher mathematics or of physics, with a resulting economy of effort on the part of highly trained personnel.
