Description
Precise numerical analysis may be defined as the study of computer methods for solving mathematical problems either exactly or to prescribed
accuracy. This book explains how precise numerical analysis is constructed. It includes a CD-ROM which contains executable Windows XP
programs for the PC and which demonstrates how these programs can be used to solve typical problems of elementary numerical analysis
with precision. The book also provides exercises which illustrate points from the text and references for the methods presented.
Audience:
Beginning classes in Numerical Analysis taught out of Computer Science or Engineering Departments. Also Math Departments where it is
taught to students of other disciplines. European technical schools and universities, especially Germany, would have strong interest
in a book on interval arithmetic. The guaranteed accuracy of this software makes it very desirable for engineers and scientists who
need to solve numerical problems in their work
