Overview
- Uses a “building-block” approach, starting with simpler mathematical tools and using them to develop more and more complex models and methods;
- Integrates modelling, error measuring, and programming, with numerical methods, in order to give an engineering emphasis to an otherwise mathematical topic;
- Demonstrates not only how the math and algorithms work but also how they can be used in engineering practice.
- Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras

About this book
Reviews
“This book is intended as a textbook for students, with exercises and questions at the end of each chapter, it is equally suitable for practicing engineers or computer scientists who find themselves using computers to solve numerical problems. … Overall, I found this book very easy to read and follow, with chapters flowing naturally on from each other. … this introductory text on numeric methods does provide just the right level of coverage required of a generalist.” (Bernard Kuc, Computing Reviews, February, 2017)
“The work is written clearly … and generously illustrated with frequent figures and examples. The provided ‘engineering examples’ mostly involve application of numerical techniques to simple physical situations. Each chapter includes a summary and multiple exercises for students; answers are presented inthe appendix. In short, this is an excellent text for a first course in numerical analysis. Summing Up: Recommended. Lower- and upper-division undergraduates.” (R. Darby, Choice, Vol. 54 (4), December, 2016)
