Industry Reviews A textbook for sophomores and juniors in engineering, science, mathematics, and computer science, or sourcebook for practicing engineers and scientists who need to use numerical analysis to solve problems. It gives a broad coverage of the field, emphasizing practical applications rather than theory. Among the changes in this edition is the addition of a new chapter that introduces a description of computer algebra systems which offer an alternative to writing a program to solve a problem, and a discussion of parallel processing and how this can be adapted to numerical procedures. Another change is the inclusion of programs in BASIC, Pascal, C, and Ada, in addition to FORTRAN. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or. Mackler
