The graduate student's guide to numerical analysis '98

About this book

"This book contains detailed lecture notes on six topics at the forefront of current research in numerical analysis and applied mathematics. Each set of notes presents a self-contained guide to a current research area and has an extensive bibliography. In addition, most of the notes contain detailed proofs of the key results. The notes start from a level suitable for first year graduate students in applied mathematics, mathematical analysis or numerical analysis, and proceed to current research topics. This book is also suitable for professional mathematicians who require a succinct and accurate account of recent research in areas parallel to their own. Recent graduates in mathematical sciences who are considering the possibility of a pursuing research towards a Ph.D. in applied mathematics of numerical analysis should also find this book a valuable guide."--BOOK JACKET.
