Asymptotic Series
The Taylor series expansions of Section 3.5 might have a large radius of convergence, but practically speaking, if x is…

The Fourier series expansion was introduced briefly in Chapter 1, where the behaviour of this series with respect to its…
The previous section informed us that sequences can converge in different ways, assuming that they converge in any sense at…
Introduction Sequences and series have a major role to play in computational methods. In this chapter we consider various types…
Introduction In this chapter we consider how numbers are represented on a computer largely with respect to the errors that…
The subject of discrete Fourier series (DFS) and its relationship to the complex Fourier series expansion is often deferred to…
The concept of an inner product is necessary before one can talk about orthogonal bases for vector spaces. Recall from…
So far our examples of function spaces have been metric spaces (Section 1.3.1). Such spaces are not necessarily associated with…
Sets of objects (vectors, sequences, polynomials, functions, etc.) often have certain special mappings defined on them that turn these sets…
Introduction Many engineering analysis and design problems are far too complex to be solved without the aid of computers. However,…
