Report
"I am quite happy with the exercises. There is a good distribution of easy, medium and hard problems. There is also a good distribution of theoretical development and algorithmic problems. There are also plenty of problems to choose from. Many of the problems are ones that I would make up on my own if they weren't included already."
--Barbara Shabell, California State Polytechnic University, Pomona
"There is a right kind of mix of theory and exercises and the order in which the topics have been presented is appropriate for my taste in teaching undergraduate students."
--Prabir Daripa, Texas A&M University
"I find this book to be a pleasure to read; it is filled with mathematical insight into numerical analysis at a level appropriate for undergraduates. The clarity of exposition is one of the strongest assets of this book."
--David J. Horntrop, New Jersey Institute of Technology
"The writing style of this book is precise and easy to understand. We particularly appreciate the format that to illustrate an approach, a simple numerical example is presented first. This format is used consistently throughout the text. Compared to our current text, this new text explains ideas in more straightforward and crystal-clear ways. It will be quite easy for students to use and learn the basic ideas. I think I would prefer this text to our current text for presentations of the materials."
--Jingyi Zhu, University of Utah
