Summary: I recommend "Numerical Methods for Engineers" as textbook
Review: I teach Numerical Methods at undergraduate level in Mexico, and I have used "Numerical Methods for Engineers" during several years.I like this book because of its approach to learning: each part contains Motivation, Mathematical Background and Orientation, then the numerical methods and finally an Epilogue. Also, the number and variety of the problems presented contribute to accomplish our educational objectives, and the emphasis made on the growing use of software packages (MATLAB, Excel, Mathcad and IMSL) makes this book more useful for students and instructors. This is an extensive book (more than 900 pages) and perhaps some parts of it must be omitted during a normal course (4 months, 4 hours per week in our case). I think that the book price of the English edition (Hardcover) is high. Fortunately for our students, there is a cheaper Spanish version, although the translation is not very good (not in the technical sense but in writing and style). In conclusion, I recommend the book to students and instructors as a comprehensive, learning oriented text with many problems in several engineering areas, and emphasis on the use of software packages, suitable to be used as textbook of numerical methods with extensive use of software.

Summary: Look elsewhere for information on numerical analysis.
Review: I used this textbook for a term while taking a class in numerical methods. I found this book to be a poor reference to material needed for real applications. It is difficult to supplement the material, as it does not explain methods well. The examples it does give, rely too heavily on previous examples. A greater focus is needed on the current method, rather than flipping back to past material. I recommend using a different book.

Summary: Look elsewhere for information on numerical analysis.
Review: I'm not an engineer. I majored in economics at MIT, and over the past few years have worked as an economic analyst. Recently, I needed to learn and review some numerical techniques in a short time frame. One of my co-workers suggested this book. In contrast to many other numerical methods texts, it is very clearly written and has lots of examples. I used the book to quickly learn about topics like cubic splines and solving partial differential equations. The author obviously cares about efficiently communicating concepts to students.

Summary: Book wasn't hardback like promised
Review: The book from this company stated that they were sending a hardbound book and it wasn't even close

Summary: Absolutely marvelous
Review: The strongest point in favor of this book is the fact that authors seems to have taken an effort to see the problems from students viewpoint: i.e. from a viewpoint of a person who does not know Numerical Methods and want to learn them without facing unnecessary complications. Topics are comprehensive and clear. Excellent resource for students at undergraduate or graduate level. No wonder it won ASEE Meriam/Wiley award. Highly recommended. (NOTE: As with the case with many textbook readers, I did not read the book cover-to-cover. The review is based on a few sections that I read. )

Summary: Wonderful Book in very good condition.
Review: This book is a good one with depth in numerical analysis and the condition was very good.I felt as if i got a new book.I think people who buy from babonee are always satisfied with what they get.

Summary: Wonderful Book in very good condition.
Review: This book is a good one with depth in numerical analysis and the condition was very good.I felt as if i got a new book.I think people who buy from babonee are always satisfied with what they get.There are lots of information on pseudocodes in different programming languages and this gives students a idea of comparison between languages.The examples are over view of how we should proceed with the exercise problems.

Summary: Brighten the darkness
Review: This is the book that I used when I first time learning numerical methods. It has very clear explanations which could open my eyes, brighten the darkness of my numerical knowledge. Now I am using it as a textbook for numerical class that I teach. Highly recommended for the beginners.
