Numerical Mathematics

Numerical Mathematics includes topics not typically discussed in similar texts at this level, such as a Fourier-based analysis of the trapezoid rule, finite volume methods for the 2D Poisson problem, the Nyström method for approximating the solution of integral equations, and the relatively new FEAST method for targeting clusters of eigenvalues and their eigenvectors. An early emphasis is given to recognizing or deducing orders of convergence in practice, which is essential for assessing algorithm performance and debugging computational software. Numerical experiments complement many of the theorems concerning convergence, illustrating typical behavior of the associated algorithms when the assumptions of the theorems are satisfied and when they are not.
This book is intended for advanced undergraduate and beginning graduate students in mathematics seeking a solid foundation in the theory and practice of scientific computing. Students and researchers in other disciplines who want a fuller understanding of the principles underlying these algorithms will also find it useful.
The text is divided into three parts, corresponding to numerical methods for problems in calculus, differential equations, and linear algebra. Each part can be used for a one-term course (quarter or semester), making the book suitable for a two- or three-term sequence in numerical analysis or for largely independent courses on any of the three main topics.

Jeffrey S. Ovall is a Maseeh Professor of Mathematics at Portland State University. He has held postdoctoral positions at the Max Planck Institute for Mathematics in the Sciences in Leipzig, Germany, and at the California Institute of Technology. His research primarily concerns numerical methods for partial differential equations and integral equations, with particular interest in eigenvalue problems, nonstandard discretization techniques, and effective treatment of singular solutions.
