Exploring Numerical Methods discusses the most important numerical algorithms, but it does not attempt to be a reference work. Instead, it concentrates on the limited subject matter that is most commonly presented to undergraduate students and stresses pedagogical issues rather than completeness. The emphasis of the book is on
- providing insight and motivation for the construction of numerical methods,
- understanding the strengths and limitations of such methods,
- evaluating the effectiveness of available numerical software,
- modifying existing software for specific purposes,
- getting experience in choosing between alternative approaches,
- experimenting with numerical software in settings that mirror real-world situations,
- building a strong experiential base for continuing study and more specialized courses.
