Written for upper undergraduate students and beginning graduate students from various backgrounds, A Concise Introduction to Numerical Analysis provides a thorough introduction to numerical analysis. It is also an ideal resource for graduate students coming from other subjects who will use numerical techniques extensively in their graduate studies. The textbook was developed from the lecture notes of four successful courses on numerical analysis taught within the MPhil program on scientific computing at the University of Cambridge.
The book is easily accessible, even to those with limited knowledge of mathematics. Students will get a concise, but thorough introduction to numerical analysis. In addition, the algorithmic principles are emphasized to encourage a deeper understanding of why an algorithm is suitable, and sometimes unsuitable, for a particular problem.
MATLAB codes for selected examples as well as solutions to odd-numbered exercises are available on the publisher's website.
