Last paragraph to First Edition Preface This book presents what we think are the major methods of numerical integration. We have tried to produce a balanced work that is both useful to the programmer and stimulating to the theoretician. There are portions of the book where deep results of analysis are derived or are alluded to;yet, it has been our hope that most of the final results have been expressed in a way that is accessible to those with a background only in calculus.

A sequel to the widely successful Thomas Gray, Philosopher Cat, Philip J. Davis' latest continues the adventures of the internationally popular feline and friend. Could it be that Hans Christian Andersen - who wrote so lovingly of inchworms and ugly ducklings - was an unrepentant despiser of cats? That's the rumor that the philosophical feline, Thomas Gray, and cohort, Cambridge don Lucas Fysst, (whose last name doesn't rhyme with "fist") are determined to snuff out. In Copenhagen to attend a philosophers' convention, they go on the hunt for a missing Andersen manuscript that will set the record straight. A whimsically written and illustrated tale - part history, part parody, and all fun. Davis is Professor Emeritus of Applied Mathematics at Brown University and author of No Way: Essays on the Impossible.
