Riassunto

Approximation techniques are widely used in mathematics and applied physics, as exact solutions are frequently impossible to obtain. A Simple Introduction to Numerical Analysis, Volume 2: Interpolation and Approximation extends the first volume to consider problems in interpolation and approximation. Topics covered include the construction of interpolating functions, the determination of polynomial and rational function approximations, numerical quadrature, and the solution of boundary value problems in ordinary differential equations. As with the previous volume, the text is integrated with a software package that allows the reader to work through numerous examples. It is also possible to use the software to consider problems that are beyond the scope of the text. The authors' expertise in combining text and software has resulted in a very readable work.
