## Description

desertcart.com: Numerical Methods for Scientists and Engineers (Dover Books on Mathematics): 9780486652412: R. W. Hamming: Books

Review: One of the best - Numerical methods for scientists and engineers is a fantastic textbook. I've always been interested in numerical analysis. Numerical analysis to me is the perfect combination: it has both mathematics and programming. A good example of this idea is Numerical Recipes in C, where you have both algorithms and their implementation. That being said, this book delivers where Numerical Recipes misses. It provides insight and understanding and explains the algorithms, not in a cookbook fashion, rather in a linear progressive method. There's not a single piece of code yet the algorithms are clearly expressed. It provides a clear understanding of methods I've used but didn't truly understand. It adds by discussing topics that aren't usually discussed in regular Numerical analysis textbooks, such as universal matrices, Stirling numbers, and Bernoulli numbers, generating functions, Riemann zeta function, Hermite interpolation, Chebyshev approximation, Adams-Bashforth and Milne methods and much, much more. The book can be read by anyone with graduate level math background: calculus, linear algebra and ordinary differential equations. Previous knowledge of numerical analysis is not required, the first chapters cover the basics extremely well.
Review: Economical Reference on Numerical Methods - 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.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Book!!!!
*by M***H on May 25, 2013*

Its easy to understand most of the methods included, the math theory or explanation is quite easy to understand in most cases as oppossed to "Numerical Analysis" by L. Burden which is extremely convoluted. However this last book I mentioned is also more complete which brings me to the only downside I noticed on this book, while some numerical methods are described with such elegance and simplicity, other methods are just mentiond and the author didnt provide examples to such methods, other methods are missing, some methods are not described in depth. There are no solutions to any of the excercises at the end of each method/chapter. That being said, overall I think this is the best numerical methods book Ive found so far. If you want a very complete book which include less common topics get Numerical Analysis by L. Burden, otherwise this book by R.W. Hamming is Just great!!!!!
