This set includes An Introduction to Numerical Methods and Analysis, 2nd Edition & Solutions Manual to Accompany An Introduction to Numerical Methods and Analysis, 2nd Edition

An Introduction to Numerical Methods and Analysis, 2nd Edition explores where approximation methods come from, why they work, why they sometimes don't work, and when to use which of the many techniques that are available.

Various sections have been revised to reflect recent trends and updates in the field and eleven new exercises have been added throughout including: Basins of Attraction; Roots of Polynomials I; Radial Basis Function Interpolation; Tension Splines; An Introduction to Galerkin/Finite Element Ideas for BVPs; Broyden's Method; Roots of Polynomials, II; Spectral/collocation methods for PDEs; Algebraic Multigrid Method; Trigonometric interpolation/Fourier analysis; and Monte Carlo methods.
