Tea Time Numerical Analysis: Experiences in Mathematics

This textbook was born of a desire to contribute a viable, free, introductory Numerical Analysis textbook for instructors and students of mathematics. The ultimate goal of this book is to be a complete, one-semester, single-pdf, downloadable textbook designed for mathematics classes.

The topical coverage in Tea Time Numerical Analysis is fairly typical. The book starts with an introductory chapter, followed by root finding methods, interpolation (part 1), numerical calculus, interpolation (part 2), and the second edition introduces a chapter on differential equations.

In keeping with the desire to produce a completely free learning experience, GNU Octave was chosen as the programming language for this book.
