Description: The new Seventh Edition of Burden and Faires' well-respected Numerical Analysis provides a foundation in modern numerical-approximation techniques. Explaining how, why, and when the techniques can be expected to work, the Seventh Edition places an even greater emphasis on building readers' intuition to help them understand why the techniques presented work in general, and why, in some situations, they fail. Applied problems from diverse areas, such as engineering and physical, computer, and biological sciences, are provided so readers can understand how numerical methods are used in real-life situations. The Seventh Edition has been updated and now addresses the evolving use of technology and incorporates it whenever it is appropriate.
-- Modern techniques, such as the Conjugate Gradient method and Homotopy, have been added. This ensures that readers are aware of the continuing developments in this important area of mathematics.
-- Discussions on the use of computer algebra systems, with code included from Maple(r) V, have been added throughout the book.
-- Exercises and examples have been updated, and often incorporate the use of technology.
-- Nearly every concept is illustrated with examples so readers can see how concepts are applied.
