Numerical Analysis, 9th Edition

The new Ninth Edition of Burden and Faires provides a foundation in modern numerical-approximation techniques, explaining how, why, and when the techniques can be expected to work. A wealth of examples and exercises develop conceptual understanding, and demonstrate the subject’s practical applications to important everyday problems in math, computing, engineering, and physical science disciplines.
