Programs to Accompany Numerical Methods
Programs to Accompany Numerical Methods by J. Douglas Faires is a comprehensive resource published by Brooks/Cole Publishing Company in 2004. This 3rd edition spans 640 pages and is presented in English. The book focuses on the intelligent application of approximation techniques relevant to engineering and the physical sciences, guiding students through the rationale behind numerical methods, the types of errors they may encounter, and potential challenges in application.
Readers will find that this text emphasizes the implementation of numerical techniques, providing concise mathematical justifications that enhance understanding without overwhelming detail. It covers the same techniques found in the authors’ well-known Numerical Analysis text, while also discussing the availability of high-quality software for numerical approximation routines. The approach aims to assure students of the mathematical and computational reasonableness of the methods presented, making it a valuable addition to the study of numerical analysis.
Official synopsis Publisher
This text emphasizes the intelligent application of approximation techniques to the type of problems that commonly occur in engineering and the physical sciences. Students learn why the numerical methods work, what type of errors to expect, and when an application might lead to difficulties. The authors also provide information about the availability of high-quality software for numerical approximation routines. The techniques are essentially the same as those covered in the authors’ top-selling Numerical Analysis text, but in this text, full mathematical justifications are provided only if they are concise and add to the understanding of the methods. The emphasis is placed on describing each technique from an implementation standpoint, and on convincing the student that the method is reasonable both mathematically and computationally.
