Supplementary material for An Introduction to Numerical Methods and Analysis, (Third Edition), by James F. Epperson

The purpose of this website is to offer a variety of material to both students and teachers to supplement the text.  As of this date (July 3, 2021) the text has just been published and the author has just retired from his "day job" so work on this website is just beginning.


  1. A note from the author
  2. A brief essay on the subject of "applications" in the text.
  3. Maybe Fortran isn't dead ...
  4. What was the "rogue Forward" about?
  5. Note to the Student from the First Edition.
  6. Primer for Elementary Calculus;  Limits, Continuity and Derivative.
  7. About that machine epsilon ...
  8. Corrections to any typographical or other errors that have been found.
  9. Color Graphics---Several plots from the book will look better in color.
  10. An entire new section for Chapter 3: Basins of Attraction (updated: 6/7/2015).
  11. A project of sorts for Chapter 3---The Lambert-W function.
