DESCRIPTION:
… it will serve both as an invaluable reference and as a means to acquire some more theoretical background … ." (Gerry Leversha, The Mathematical Gazette, Vol. 88 (512), 2004)"Among the book’s many particular features … we would like to emphasize the excellent presentation of the following topics: fast Fourier transform methods, thorough discussion of the most important minimization methods, solution of stiff or implicit ordinary differential equations, solution of differential algebraic systems, basics of multigrid methods. 69, 2003). … The
"Dive into the solid German school of Numerical Analysis" according to J. A. Soares. In the course of my graduate studies, I got lots of books in Numerical Mathematics. I read most of them, at least the chapters related to my work in Computer-Aided Design and Simulation of electronic circuits.I have some of the books in several editions, as happens with this book from Stoer & Bulirsch (I have the 2nd and Dive into the solid German school of Numerical Analysis In the course of my graduate studies, I got lots of books in Numerical Mathematics.

It isn't an easy read, and I remember having had some "viscous friction" in getting into the notation, a minor annoyment quickly surpassed.

Penny said Ok for reference. This text makes a decent reference book, but I find that the introduction of new ideas is not accompanied with sufficient explanation or motivation. I find myself continuously refering back to Burden and Faires, "Numerical Analysis" instead for more clear and concise descriptions of the same concepts. While our professor required the book for the course (because it is on the book list for qualifying exams), he rarely refers to it. I have accumulated about 5 numerical analysis books now, and I would recommend Burden and Faires, ". Alexis O. said So many typos!. This book is decent as a reference book but it rather dense for someone who is learning the material the first time. (I'm using this book for a graduate course after having seen much of the material as an undergraduate and it's still a little difficult to read.)It also has an inexcusable amount of typos in it. By the third edition, this really shouldn't be a problem.
