Although this book is out of date now, as an introduction the writing style is just about perfect and in this field you have to build up your intuitions, starting from simple examples and adding refinements later. The code is in Fortran, so C programmers may need to ask a friend to translate it for
This textbook is written primarily for undergraduate mathematicians and also appeals to students working at an advanced level in other disciplines. The text begins with a clear motivation for the study of numerical analysis based on real-world problems. The authors then develop the necessary machine
