Scientific Computing : An Introductory Survey Michael T. Heath University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign This book presents a broad overview of numerical methods and software for students and professionals in computationally oriented disciplines who need to solve mathematical problems. It is not a traditional numerical analysis tex t in that it contains relatively little detailed analysis of the computational algorithms presented.
