Acta Numerica 1993: Volume 2
Acta Numerica Series, Vol. 2

Continuing the tradition established with the 1992 volume, 1993's Acta Numerica presents six invited papers on a broad range of topics from numerical analysis. Papers treat each topic at a level intelligible by any numerical analyst from graduate student to professional. Highlights include advances in numerical techniques such as finite elements and multigrid methods, stability analysis for initial value problems, graphical problems such as path following and multivariate splines, and a lengthy paper on parallel methods in linear algebra. This volume will be an essential reference for any practising numerical analyst.
