Subject: New book: Matrices, Moments and Quadrature with Applications

Matrices, Moments and Quadrature with Applications
Gene H. Golub & Gérard Meurant

Princeton Series in Applied Mathematics
Princeton University Press, 2009
$65.00 / £44.95

This computationally oriented book describes and explains the mathematical
relationships among matrices, moments, orthogonal polynomials,
quadrature rules, and the Lanczos and conjugate gradient algorithms. The book
bridges different mathematical areas to obtain algorithms to estimate bilinear
forms involving two vectors and a function of the matrix. The first part of
the book provides the necessary mathematical background and explains the
theory. The second part describes the applications and gives numerical
examples of the algorithms and techniques developed in the first part.

Applications addressed in the book include computing elements of functions of
matrices; obtaining estimates of the error norm in iterative methods for
solving linear systems and computing parameters in least squares and total
least squares; and solving ill-posed problems using Tikhonov regularization.

This book will interest researchers in numerical linear algebra and matrix
computations, as well as scientists and engineers working on problems
involving computation of bilinear forms.
