Elementary Numerical Mathematics for Programmers and Engineers Spooky Nearly 40 years agoThis book covers the basics of numerical methods. Avoiding the definition theorem proof style, it instead focuses on numerical examples and simple pseudo codes. The text begins with a chapter on floating point arithmetic before moving on to discuss norms, conditions numbers, solutions of systems of equations, the least squares problem, eigenvalue problems, interpolation, numerical integration, ordinary differential equations, optimization (including a
