A Theoretical Introduction to Numerical Analysis presents the general methodology and principles of numerical analysis, illustrating these concepts using numerical methods from real analysis, linear algebra, and differential equations. The book focuses on how to efficiently represent mathematical models for computer-based study.

An accessible yet rigorous mathematical introduction, this book provides a pedagogical account of the fundamentals of numerical analysis. The authors thoroughly explain basic concepts, such as discretization, error, efficiency, complexity, numerical stability, consistency, and convergence. The text also addresses more complex topics like intrinsic error limits and the effect of smoothness on the accuracy of approximation in the context of Chebyshev interpolation, Gaussian quadratures, and spectral methods for differential equations. Another advanced subject discussed, the method of difference potentials, employs discrete analogues of Calderon’s potentials and boundary projection operators. The authors often delineate various techniques through exercises that require further theoretical study or computer implementation.

By lucidly presenting the central mathematical concepts of numerical methods, A Theoretical Introduction to Numerical Analysis provides a foundational link to more specialized computational work in fluid dynamics, acoustics, and electromagnetism.

Discusses three common numerical areas: interpolation and quadratures, linear and nonlinear solvers, and finite differences. Explains the most fundamental and universal concepts, including error, efficiency, complexity, stability, and convergence. Addresses advance topics, such as intrinsic accuracy limits, saturation of numerical methods by smoothness, and the method of difference potentials. Provides rigorous proofs for all important mathematical results. Includes numerous examples and exercises to illustrate key theoretical ideas and to enable independent study. - In Mathematical Reviews, Issue 2007g It is an excellent book, having a wide spectrum of classical and advanced topics. The book has all the advantages of the Russian viewpoint as well as the Western one. -David Gottlieb, Brown University, Providence, Rhode Island, USA
