Strengths of the Textbook

The strength of this textbook lies in the careful exposition of mathematical thinking, basic set-theoretic notions, and proof techniques combined with contemporary numerical methods used throughout the book.

A basic version of computer programs compatible with the widely used program MatLab, and exercises are provided on a disk included with the book.
