JAMES F. EPPERSON, PhD, is Associate Editor of Mathematical Reviews for the American Mathematical Society. He was previously associate professor in the Department of Mathematics at The University of Alabama in Huntsville and assistant professor at the University of Georgia in Athens. He earned his doctorate at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh and his undergraduate degree from the College of Engineering at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor.
This is an excellent textbook for a numerical analysiscourse although it will be difficult to cover all the material injust one course. Because the text is so complete, it could aswell be used for self-study. (American MathematicalSociety, 1 August 2014)
