Zusatztext Review of the hardback: 'Acta Numerica is a fine achievement and I think we can expect to see it for many years to come. It sets itself laudable and important goals and has! to a large extent! achieve them. I believe that the volumes are of enormous benefit to our subject ? The editorial board should be applauded for having the vision and drive necessary to create and sustain such a high quality publication ? No mathematics library is complete without this annual publication! and I urge everyone working in numerical mathematics and scientific computing to read it.' Andrew Stuart! SIAM Review Klappentext Acta Numerica is an annual publication containing invited survey papers by leading researchers in a number of areas. Zusammenfassung Continuing the tradition established with the 1992 volume! 1993's Acta Numerica presents six invited papers on a broad range of topics from numerical analysis. Papers treat each topic at a level intelligible by any numerical analyst from graduate student to professional. Inhaltsverzeichnis 1. Continuation and path following Eugene L. Allgower and Kurt Georg; 2. Multivariate piecewise polynomials C. De Boor; 3. Parallel numerical linear algebra James W. Demmel, Michael T. Heath and Henk A. van der Vorst; 4. Linear stability analysis in the numerical solution of initial value problems J. L. M. van Dorsselaer, J. F. B. M. Kraaijevanger and M. N. Spijker; 5.
