Trefethen N. Lloyd Knihy

Focusing on the Schwarz-Christoffel transformation, this book delves into its historical background, foundational principles, and a range of practical computations. It explores various applications in diverse fields such as electromagnetism and fluid flow, making it a valuable resource for engineers, scientists, and applied mathematicians. Theoretical results are clearly stated and proved, with an emphasis on practical understanding. Additionally, it includes a brief appendix on the Schwarz-Christoffel Toolbox for MATLAB, enhancing computational techniques for conformal mapping.

This is a concise, insightful introduction to the field of numerical linear algebra. The clarity and eloquence of the presentation make it popular with teachers and students alike. The text aims to expand the reader's view of the field and to present standard material in a novel way. All of the most important topics in the field are covered with a fresh perspective, including iterative methods for systems of equations and eigenvalue problems and the underlying principles of conditioning and stability. Presentation is in the form of 40 lectures, which each focus on one or two central ideas. The unity between topics is emphasized throughout, with no risk of getting lost in details and technicalities. The book breaks with tradition by beginning with the QR factorization - an important and fresh idea for students, and the thread that connects most of the algorithms of numerical linear algebra.

Acclaimed mathematician Lloyd N Trefethen, Professor of Numerical Analysis at Oxford University, has created an intellectual diary, marking the development of his interests and ideas, since his teenage years. This book collects these ideas, which represent observations in subjects ranging from astronomy to family life, and from music to politics.
