The fifth volume of Acta Numerica provides "state of the art" analysis and techniques in numerical mathematics and scientific computing. This collection encompasses several important aspects of numerical analysis, including eigenvalue optimization; theory, algorithms and application of level set methods for propagating interfaces; hierarchical bases and the finite element method. It will be a valuable resource for researchers in this important field. | Acta Numerica 1996: Volume 5 by Arieh Iserles, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
