Textbook of several universities. 2nd edition.
The color edition is also available at Glasstree Bookstore. It is recommended for students.
The series of books Numerical Methods is written primarily for students at technical universities, but also as a useful handbook for engineers, PhD students and scientists.
This volume introduces the reader into numeral systems and representation of numbers in digital computers. Possibly the most important part of this book are descriptions of differences between constant and random variables, related types of errors and error propagation. These topics are supplemented with various types of regression analyses. Finally, direct and iterative methods for finding roots of polynomials are explained.
Practical application is supported by 77 examples and 13 algorithms. For reasons of simplicity, algorithms are written in pseudo-code, so they can easily be included in any computer program.
