Elementary Numerical Analysis, 3rd Edition

“I am quite happy with the exercises.  There is a good distribution of easy, medium and hard problems.  There is also a good distribution of theoretical development and algorithmic problems.  There are also plenty of problems to choose from.  Many of the problems are ones that I would make up on my own if they weren’t included already.”

--Barbara Shabell, California State Polytechnic University, Pomona

 

 

“There is a right kind of mix of theory and exercises and the order in which the topics have been presented is appropriate for my taste in teaching undergraduate students.”

--Prabir Daripa, Texas A&M University

 

 

“I find this book to be a pleasure to read; it is filled with mathematical insight into numerical analysis at a level appropriate for undergraduates.  The clarity of exposition is one of the strongest assets of this book.”

--David J. Horntrop, New Jersey Institute of Technology

 

 

“The writing style of this book is precise and easy to understand.  We particularly appreciate the format that to illustrate an approach, a simple numerical example is presented first.  This format is used consistently throughout the text.  Compared to our current text, this new text explains ideas in more straightforward and crystal-clear ways.  It will be quite easy for students to use and learn the basic ideas.  I think I would prefer this text to our current text for presentations of the materials.”

--Jingyi Zhu, University of Utah
