特色：
No applied mathematician can be properly trained without some basic understanding of numerical methods, i.e., numerical analysis. And no scientist and engineer should be using a package program for numerical computations without understanding the program's purpose and its limitations. This book is an attempt to provide some of the required knowledge and understanding. It is written in a spirit that considers numerical analysis not merely as a tool fer solving applied problems but also as a challenging and rewarding part of mathematics. The main goal is to provide insight into numerical analysis rather than merely to provide numerical recipes.　　此书为英文版！
