Synopsis
Heath 2/e, presents a broad overview of numerical methods for solving all the major problems in scientific computing, including linear and nonlinearequations, least squares, eigenvalues, optimization, interpolation, integration, ordinary and partial differential equations, fast Fourier transforms, and random number generators. The treatment is comprehensive yet concise, software-oriented yet compatible with a variety of software packages and programming languages. The book features more than 160 examples, 500 review questions, 240 exercises, and 200 computer problems.Changes for the second edition include: expanded motivational discussions and examples; formal statements of all major algorithms; expanded discussions of existence, uniqueness, and conditioning for each type of problem so that students can recognize "good" and "bad" problem formulations and understand the corresponding quality of results produced; and expanded coverage of several topics, particularly eigenvalues and constrained optimization.The book contains a wealth of material and can be used in a variety of one- or two-term courses in computer science, mathematics, or engineering. Its comprehensiveness and modern perspective, as well as the software pointers provided, also make it a highly useful reference for practicing professionals who need to solve computational problems., Heath 2/e, presents a broad overview of numerical methods for solving all the major problems in scientific computing, including linear and nonlinear equations, least squares, eigenvalues, optimization, interpolation, integration, ordinary and partial differential equations, fast Fourier transforms, and random number generators.

- l***p (98)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseBook was sold at a fair price and was in excellent condition when received; book was as described in listing. I expected slow shipping, as I believe the listing said it would be slow; but I was pleasantly surprised at how quickly the book arrived. I had a question about the book and seller was quick to respond, very helpful and very polite. Would definitely buy from this seller again.

- s***g (944)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseSeller was great to work with! I buy lots of books for my school library so thanks to this seller for having this series and getting it out quickly! Books just as described and packed with care.
- o***g (17)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseWas a bit worried ordering something from Alaska since I never have, but this seller proved my fear was probably a bit irrational. It arrived in great condition, and far faster than I thought. Also, I appreciate the low price. Thank you.
