Numerical methods for initial value problems
in ordinary differential equations.
This book provides an excellent discussion of the theoretical
aspects of numerical methods for initial value problems in ordinary
differential equations. An interesting technique used by the
author throughout the book is to summarize the important points
of algorithms, model problems, classifications, performance factors,
and other properties by providing itemized listings. Another
nice feature is the thorough comparison and discussion of the
properties, advantages, and disadvantages of the current robust
codes used for each type of problem. Much of this
information is included in tables and charts and is supplemented
with numerous references to the original work.
