Based on a successful course at Oxford University, this book covers a range of computational problems in science.Throughout the book particular attention is paid to the essential qualities of a numerical algorithm- stability, accuracy, reliability and efficiency.The authors go further than simply providing recipes for solving computational problems. They carefully analyse the reasons why methods might fail to give accurate answers. «
