An Introduction to Numerical Methods and Analysis, Second Edition reflects the latest trends in the field, includes new material and revised exercises, and offers a unique emphasis on applications. The author clearly explains how to both construct and evaluate approximations for accuracy and performance, which are key skills in a variety of fields. A wide range of higher-level methods and solutions, including new topics such as the roots of polynomials, spectral collocation, finite element ideas, and Clenshaw-Curtis quadrature, are presented from an introductory perspective, and the Second Edition also features:

Chapters and sections that begin with basic, elementary material followed by gradual coverage of more advanced material
Exercises ranging from simple hand computations to challenging derivations and minor proofs to programming exercises
Widespread exposure and utilization of MATLAB
An appendix that contains proofs of various theorems and other material
