Title: A book with no audience?
Product review: Looking for a supplementary text for my Numerical Analysis course, I had my students pick up this text- I have found that other Outlines give a lot of excellent worked examples and provide good summaries- Not this text. If you are a beginning student, go get yourself a real text (I would highly recommend Burden and Faires, or the new text by Tim Sauer). This text offers little to no insight into the algorithms or the analysis, and spends way too much space on one dimensional interpolation problems. If you're simply looking for summaries of algorithms and practical advice on implementation, a much better text is the "Numerical Recipes" books. In summary, I'm not sure who the audience is for this book- There are many, much better, options out there.
