Filled with appealing examples that will motivate students, the textbook considers modern application areas, such as information retrieval and animation, alongside classical topics from physics and engineering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eExercises using MATLAB promote understanding of computational results. The book gives instructors the flexibility to emphasise different aspects—design, analysis, or computer implementation—of numerical algorithms, depending on the background and interests of students.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for upper-division undergraduates in mathematics or computer science classes, the textbook assumes that students have prior knowledge of linear algebra and calculus, although these topics are reviewed in the text. Short discussions of the history of numerical methods are interspersed throughout the chapters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe book also includes polynomial interpolation at Chebyshev points, use of the MATLAB package Chebfun, and a section on the fast Fourier transform.
