Reviews
This is a good mathematics book containing many interesting historical facts and anecdotes. The theorems and proofs are done at a careful level of rigor. This is its strong point. SIAM Review It will be useful for scientists and engineers wishing to learn whether mathematicians can explain why their numerical methods work - or fail. EMS The presentation of the book is very good and sometimes original; in spite of teaching numerical courses for several years I found a few good ideas to improve my courses ... recommend[ed] for those who value mathematical rigour in numerical analysis. Zentralblatt Math The global conclusion is that this is a good textbook for the numerical analysis courses in an undergraduate mathematics curriculum. Zentralblatt Math ... the physical detail in which many problems are introduced is one of the strong points of the book. Another strong point is the mathematical rigour which is definitely above the average for a numerical analysis textbook. Zentralblatt Math
