It's the down-and-dirty methods of approximation and interpolation of equations that don't have closed-formed mathematical solutions. Be warned there have been many improvements in theory and methods in finite element methods of Fluid Dynamics and other 3D modeling (bezier and NURBS); And, the whole world of Complexity and Chaos theory happened well AFTER this book was published. You'll find all the familiar names from your undergrad Math and Physics courses here (Newton, Gauss, Largrange, etc. This book by Hildebrand along with its companion Methods of Applied Mathematics are a perfect match for students of Science and Engineering. Please try again. Just about every real-world problem in material engineering from pipe flow, wing design, convection currents to multivariate econometrics have to resort to numerical approximations. The book covers the various finite difference approximations (forward, backward and central differences). Also great service. The quality of the writing is extremely high in this book.

I get impatient with the amount of detail Hildebrand devotes to some topics, but that's because those are topics where I already know the techniques and pitfalls. In most cases, a numerical method is introduced, followed by analysis and proofs. It uses the operational approach for these. This book has emphasis on analysis of numerical methods, including error bound, consistency, convergence, stability.

This textbook provides an introduction to the justification and development of constructive methods that provide sufficiently accurate approximations to the solution of numerical problems, and the analysis of the influence that errors in data, finite-precision calculations, and approximation formulas have on results, problem formulation and the choice of method. Although old, this is still an outstanding introduction to a wide range of topics in numerical analysis.
