✦ Synopsis

This book is designed to provide a unified introduction for students and practitioners to three distinct but closely related areas: (1) fundamentals of numerical analysis and scientific computing; (2) techniques for solving linear systems and linear least-squares problems, and for updating matrix factorizations; (3) numerical optimization methods for both linear and nonliner programming. These topics not only form a coherent body of knowledge for schooling, but are also important background for anyone who wishes to understand and develop numerical methods and software. The progression of topics in Volumes I and 2 is designed to correspond to an intensive one-year course in numerical liner algebra and optimization.
