Über diesen Titel

Inhaltsangabe

This is a standard two-semester text for a first course in numerical analysis at the advanced undergraduate level, offering unique coverage of numerical approximation/interpolation, graphics, and parallel computing. A portion of the programs are written in Turbo Pascal. The remainder are pseudocode or generalized algorithms. Because other texts use FORTRAN or just pseudocode, the Turbo Pascal flavor of the Buchanan/Turner text sets it apart and makes it particularly appropriate for the typical undergraduate with Pascal programming skills and access to a personal computer.

Reseña del editor

Intended for a first course in numerical methods or numerical analysis taken by junior and senior level students, this book assumes a knowledge of calculus, linear algebra and differential equations. It covers numerical approximation/interpolation, graphics, and parallel computing. The interplay between hardware and software considerations in numerical algorithm design recurs throughout. A portion of the programs in the book are written in Turbo Pascal; the remainder are pseudocode or generalized algorithms. Programs used in the text will be available on a disk for instructors to use and copy. Emphasis is placed on elementary functions and their computer/calculator approximations, including a section on CORDIC algorthim. Extensive treatment of computer arithmetic and its effect on numerical algorithms is used to explain floating-point system. Coverage of curve-fitting includes Bezier curves, which are an important tool in Computer Aided Design (CAD) and computer graphics. The inclusion of numerical and graphical software allow results to be presented in a variety of formats.
