Numerical methods and analysis

This is a standard two-semester text for a first course in numerical analysis at the advanced undergraduate level, offering unique coverage of numerical approximation/interpolation, graphics, and parallel computing. A portion of the programs are written in Turbo Pascal. The remainder are pseudocode or generalized algorithms. Because other texts use FORTRAN or just pseudocode, the Turbo Pascal flavor of the Buchanan/Turner text sets it apart and makes it particularly appropriate for the typical undergraduate with Pascal programming skills and access to a personal computer. Intended for a first course in numerical methods or numerical analysis taken by junior and senior level students, this book assumes a knowledge of calculus, linear algebra and differential equations. It covers numerical approximation/interpolation, graphics, and parallel computing.
