Description

In mathematics, most functions cannot be used directly in computer calculations. This text from Cambridge University Press explores how these functions are replaced by manageable approximations, such as polynomials and piecewise polynomials. While the theory of polynomial approximation is classical, the book focuses on the recent importance of piecewise polynomials developed over the last twenty years. Readers will find a thorough and coherent introduction to the subject. The content covers important theoretical properties and new techniques designed for the automatic calculation of approximations to a prescribed accuracy. This makes it a valuable resource for those studying applied mathematics and computational methods.
