"""This is a thorough and detailed introduction to the important topic of numerical analysis. It is based upon an existing successful postgraduate course and assumes a significant level of mathematical sophistication. The material is very clearly presented, with lots of end-of-topic questions and examples in MATLAB that really illustrate the key issues involved, such as error propagation. The range of topics is conventional, but the level of detail is not. This is definitely a textbook that should be on the shelf of anyone working in the field who wants a deep understanding of the methods, limitations, and practical issues."" —Dr. Matt Probert, Department of Physics, University of York, UK"
