This well-written book contains the analytical tools, concepts, and viewpoints needed for modern applied mathematics. It treats various practical methods for solving problems such as differential equations, boundary value problems, and integral equations. Pragmatic approaches to difficult equations are presented, including the Galerkin method, the method of iteration, Newton’s method, projection techniques, and homotopy methods.

Product Description: This is the seventh volume documenting the conference proceedings of the International Symposium on approximation theory. The conference was held at the University of Texas, Austin and focused on wavelets and numerical analysis. This volume contains articles which examine the fields of approximation theory and functional analysis, and presents research by leading mathematicians...read more

Product Description: The approximation of functions of several variables continues to be a difficult problem in scientific computing because many of the algorithms required for such problems have yet to be written. This monograph is written for a broad audience of computational mathematicians and statisticians concerned with the development of algorithms or the derivation of approximations from linear projections, of which the interpolating operators are an important example...read more
