About The Book
In this highly regarded work by renowned mathematician Richard Hamming, "Applied Numerical Methods" is ideal for a single-semester course in applied numerical analysis, specifically designed for computer science majors and upper-level undergraduate and graduate students. Though the book does not delve into programming, it concentrates on the most important applied topics that are relevant to professionals in science and engineering fields.

The text covers a broad range of topics, including round-off and function evaluation, real zeros of functions, simultaneous linear equations and matrices, interpolation, and round-off estimation. It also explores more advanced subjects such as integration, ordinary differential equations, optimization, least squares, orthogonal functions, Fourier series, Chebyshev approximation, and random processes.

Hamming emphasizes teaching mathematical concepts through the use of visual aids. The book is filled with numerous diagrams and illustrations that make the material more accessible and easier to understand. Whether you're seeking a solid introduction to numerical methods or looking to deepen your expertise in applied mathematics, this text offers a comprehensive, practical approach.
