Conte, S. D.; de Boor, Carl Elementary numerical analysis. An algorithmic approach. Updated with MATLAB. Reprint of the third edition 1980. (English) Zbl 1392.65002 Classics in Applied Mathematics 78. Philadelphia, PA: Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SIAM) (ISBN 978-1-61197-519-2/pbk; 978-1-61197-520-8/ebook). xxiv, 456 p. (2018). This is a reprint of the 3rd edition of this book of 1980 [Zbl 0496.65001]. The text has not been changed but there is a new preface where de Boor explains that he has added now MATLAB routines. He had proposed these for the 1980 edition but his co-author and the editor preferred to stick to the Fortran routines inserted in the text. These are still there but their MATLAB transcription has been added in an appendix. Since 1980 some typos and smaller flaws were discovered, which are added as a list with errata in the beginning of the book. So the original page numbers are not changed. The book is a textbook with exercises giving an introduction to numerical analysis. More recent textbooks may have shifted emphasis to different chapters and Fortran would probably not be the preferred code nowadays. But even though this book is written in 1980, the basics did not change fundamentally. That is why it is still of interest and fortunately SIAM is saving it from oblivion, by making it one of its Classics in Applied Mathematics, since the book has been out of print.See the reviews of the first and second editions in [Zbl 0213.41501; Zbl 0257.65002].
