Présentation de l'éditeur

An Introduction to Numerical Mathematics provides information pertinent to the fundamental aspects of numerical mathematics. This book covers a variety of topics, including linear programming, linear and nonlinear algebra, polynomials, numerical differentiation, and approximations. Organized into seven chapters, this book begins with an overview of the solution of linear problems wherein numerical mathematics provides very effective algorithms consisting of finitely many computational steps. This text then examines the method for the direct solution of a definite problem. Other chapters consider the determination of frequencies in freely oscillating mechanical or electrical systems. This book discusses as well eigenvalue problems for oscillatory systems of finitely many degrees of freedom, which can be reduced to algebraic equations. The final chapter deals with the approximate representation of a function f(x) given by I-values as in the form of a table. This book is a valuable resource for physicists, mathematicians, theoreticians, engineers, and research workers.
