Product Description
This book contains a large amount of information not found in standard textbooks. Written for the advanced undergraduate/beginning graduate student, it combines the modern mathematical standards of numerical analysis with an understanding of the needs of the computer scientist working on practical applications. Among its many particular features are: fully worked-out examples; many carefully selected and formulated problems; fast Fourier transform methods; a thorough discussion of some important minimization methods; solution of stiff or implicit ordinary differential equations and of differential algebraic systems; modern shooting techniques for solving two-point boundary value problems; and basics of multigrid methods. This new edition features expanded presentation of Hermite interpolation and B-splines, with a new section on multi-resolution methods and B-splines. New material on differential equations and the iterative solution of linear equations include: solving differential equations in the presence of discontinuities whose locations are not known at the outset; techniques for sensitivity analyses of differential equations dependent on additional parameters; new advanced techniques in multiple shooting; and Krylov space methods for non-symmetric systems of linear equations.

 A classic, but don't expect just recipes, this is maths October 1, 1998

A classic. However this book is not a "cookbook" of numerical recipes, rather it places a strong emphasys in the numerical properties of algorithms. Good all-rounder and good sections on linear systems and interpolation. You'll probably want to complement this book with specialists on matrix computations, ODE, PDE and optimisation.
 Ok for reference October 1, 2005

This text makes a decent reference book, but I find that the introduction of new ideas is not accompanied with sufficient explanation or motivation. I find myself continuously refering back to Burden and Faires, "Numerical Analysis" instead for more clear and concise descriptions of the same concepts. While our professor required the book for the course (because it is on the book list for qualifying exams), he rarely refers to it. I have accumulated about 5 numerical analysis books now, and I would recommend Burden and Faires, "Numerical Analysis" (7th edition) as the best for senior undergradute to 1st-year graduate level, as it has the best combination of theory, explanation, and examples. Stoer presents slightly more theoretical motivation to problems, which I think would be more interesting the second time around, but not as an 'Introduction'.
