Applications of the Differential Calculus

In this chapter our attention is focused on applications of the differential calculus. The first main goal is the numerical solution of nonlinear systems of equations. In particular, Newton-like methods are studied in detail. As a special case the numeric

Preface

This book aims to provide a comprehensive introduction to the field of (classical) mathematical analysis and mathematics of computation. While many students may have a perception of what mathematical analysis might be, which is often formed in school and college, there is, in our experience, a rather large surprise when studying mathematical analysis at the university level. Concerning mathematics of computation the situation may be even worse. This field is rich and has seen an enormous development during recent decades. It comprises numerical analysis, computational discrete mathematics, including algebra and combinatorics, number theory, and stochastic numerical methods as well as certain aspects related to mathematical optimization. In addition there are many interdisciplinary applications of all these research subjects, e.g., support vector machines, kernel-based learning methods, pattern recognition, statistical learning theory, computer graphics, approximation theory, and many more. So having a solid understanding of the foundations of mathematical analysis and of its relations to the mathematics of computation i
