A First Course in the Numerical Analysis of Differential Equations - Paperbackby Arieh Iserles (Author) Numerical analysis presents different faces to the world. For mathematicians it is a bona fide mathematical theory with an applicable flavour. For scientists and engineers it is a practical, applied subject, part of the standard repertoire of modelling techniques. For computer scientists it is a theory on the interplay of computer architecture and algorithms for real number calculations. The tension between these standpoints
