Description
The principal aim of the programme is to show the student the two types of instability that can make nonsense of a piece of numerical work, and how one goes about avoiding them. The programme also ...gives an idea why numerical mathematics is important, indicates the criteria by which a numerical method should be judged, and then discusses them in detail.
