Product Description: This volume comprises the proceedings of the second Shrivenham conference on Algorithms for Approximation. The term 'approximation' here refers to 'the approximation of functions and data by similar functions', and leads to such topics as curve and surface fitting, spline and piecewise polynomial methods, finite element modelling, and computer-aided design...read more

Product Description: The main aim of this book is to present a broader view of scientific software than has been common in the past. The provision of scientific software is no longer a matter of just writing 'good computer programs', but rather it is concerned with the development of an integrated software system wI-,ich offers the user facilities which approach all that he needs in terms of speed, accuracy and convenience...read more

Product Description: Intended for professional mathematicians, this volume surveys fundamental work in the practical and algorithmic aspects of approximation. The techniques examined have direct applications in many fields, among them computer-aided design, meteorology, stress analysis, chemistry, and mathematics...read more
