Title: Economical Reference on Numerical Methods
Product review: The book is fairly pedestrian--there is nothing inside the book you won't find covered in other numerical analysis textbooks. Furthermore, the book is dated (1962) and the techniques are all 'classical'. The bulk of the text is devoted to polynomial approximation and Fourier approximation with a solid introduction to general numerical methods, algorithms, error analysis, etc. There are two distinguishing features for the book:1. The paperback edition is quite economical.2. The author is R.W. Hamming--inventor of the Hamming code, the Hamming window, etc.
