Book Description:

Numerical Mathematics is a unique book that introduces computational microcomputer laboratories as a vehicle for teaching algorithmic aspects of mathematics. This is achieved through a sequence of laboratory assignments, presupposing no previous knowledge of calculus or linear algebra, where the "chalk- and-talk" lecturer turns into a laboratory istructor. The computational assignments cover iterative processes, area approximations, linear systems, convergence acceleration,...
More DescriptionNumerical Mathematics is a unique book that introduces computational microcomputer laboratories as a vehicle for teaching algorithmic aspects of mathematics. This is achieved through a sequence of laboratory assignments, presupposing no previous knowledge of calculus or linear algebra, where the "chalk- and-talk" lecturer turns into a laboratory istructor. The computational assignments cover iterative processes, area approximations, linear systems, convergence acceleration, interpolative approximations, and construction of computer-library functions. The material is part and parcel of the mathematical foundations that should be acquired by a college student in the microcomputer era.
