Sommario/riassunto

Numerical analysis presents different faces to the world. For mathematicians it is a bona fide mathematical theory with an applicable



flavour. For scientists and engineers it is a practical, applied subject, part of the standard repertoire of modelling techniques. For computer scientists it is a theory on the interplay of computer architecture and algorithms for real-number calculations. The tension between these standpoints is the driving force of this book, which presents a rigorous account of the fundamentals of numerical analysis of both ordinary and partial differential equations. The exposition maintains a balance between theoretical, algorithmic and applied aspects. This second edition has been extensively updated, and includes new chapters on emerging subject areas: geometric numerical integration, spectral methods and conjugate gradients. Other topics covered include multistep and Runge-Kutta methods; finite difference and finite elements techniques for the Poisson equation; and a variety of algorithms to solve large, sparse algebraic systems.

Sommario/riassunto

With more and more nonprofit employees responsible for the creation and management of the annual budget, it's clear that budgets must be well designed and easy to implement in order to accommodate the trend toward decentralizing decision-making powers in nonprofit organizations. Continuous budgeting, as explained in Not-for-Profit Budgeting and Financial Management, Fourth Edition offers a system that is not only easy to use and monitor, but also ensures true fiscal accountability in the complex nonprofit arena.--Provided by publisher.
