Product Description
This book shows how to use Derive to implement numerical methods for solving a wide range of problems. It may be used as a primary textbook for an introductory undergraduate course in numerical analysis. It maybe used as the main text for a one or two semester college freshman+ level course. Most of the sections of the book are nearly self-contained. This will allow great flexibility in the order that the topics may be covered. The text is intended to permit the exploration of many different numerical algorithms with only a minimum of technical effort. For convenience, a disk is included with a number of the functions that are defined. This book was originally written for Derive for DOS. Although the software has continued to be updated, Derive users may still find the information in this book valuable if they are studying numerical analysis. The diskette included with the book is compatible with both Derive for DOS and Derive for Windows.

Deriving Derive Skills With Numerical Analysis April 5, 2000
Paul Haines (Toronto, Ontario, Canada)

Steven Schonefeld's book "Numerical Analysis Via Derive" should be a firm 'at-the-elbow' companion for every applied mathematician. It is not only because it is so exceptionally well written (with carefully graded examples) that it serves as an excellent reference in numerical analysis per se, but it performs a real service to those using the DERIVE SYSTEM.To the neophyte purchasing the Derive System, the only learning source that comes with the package, is Bernard Kutzler's very poor reference manual on Derive. One need only look at the index to see how difficult it is to find relevant answers to serious questions. Kutzler's manual is badly put together and misses so much material. And even that material to be found is both sparse as well as poorly explained. Schonefeld's book admirably compensates for Kutzler's lack of information by showing, in clear examples, all of Derives criticakl procedures. I highly recommend Shonefeld's book if only to help students get a solid grip on Derive and learn to use it for all its potential.
