Precise numerical analysis may be defined as the study of computer methods for solving mathematical problems either exactly or to prescribed accuracy. This book explains how precise numerical analysis is constructed. The book also provides exercises which illustrate points from the text and references for the methods presented.
Editorial Reviews
Review
“No other book on the market can guarantee results to this level of accuracy.” — Mathematical Reviews/MathSciNet, Issue 2008g The book is ideal for classes in numerical analysis taught by mathematics, computer science, or engineering departments. The guaranteed accuracy of the software makes it very useful for professional engineers and scientists who need to solve numerical problems in their work.” — Mathematical Reviews/MathSciNet, Issue 2008g
