Computing Methods for Scientists and Engineers (Monographs on Numerical Analysis)

Problems involving linear algebra arise in many contexts of scientific computation, either directly or through the replacement of continuous systems by discrete approximations. This introduction covers the practice of matrix algebra and manipulation, and the theory and practice of direct and iterative methods for solving linear simultaneous algebraic equations, inverting matrices, and determining the latent roots and vectors of matrices. Special attention is given to the important problem of error analysis and numerous examples illustrate the procedures recommended in various circumstances.  The emphasis is on the reasons for selecting particular numerical methods rather than on programming or coding.

Nearly 20 years ago we produced a treatise (of about the same length as this book) entitled Computing methods for scientists and engineers. It was stated that most computation is performed by workers whose mathematical training stopped somewhere short of the 'professional' level, and that some books are therefore needed which use quite simple mathematics but which nevertheless communicate the essence of the 'numerical sense' which is exhibited by the real computing experts and which is surely needed, at least to some extent, by all who use modern computers and modern numerical software. In that book we treated, at no great length, a variety of computational problems in which the material on ordinary differential equations occupied about 50 pages. At that time it was quite common to find books on numerical analysis, with a little on each topic ofthat field, whereas today we are more likely to see similarly-sized books on each major topic: for example on numerical linear algebra, numerical approximation, numerical solution ofordinary differential equations, numerical solution of partial differential equations, and so on. These are needed because our numerical education and software have improved and because our relevant problems exhibit more variety and more difficulty. Ordinary differential equa tions are obvious candidates for such treatment, and the current book is written in this sense.
