Finite Difference and Spectral Methods
for Ordinary and Partial Differential Equations

Lloyd N. Trefethen
Cornell University


This 325-page textbook was written during 1985-1994 and used in graduate courses at MIT and Cornell on the numerical solution of partial differential equations.

The book has not been completed, and is on indefinite hold while I attend to other projects. However, the part of it that is written is in quite polished form, including many exercises, and is suitable for classroom use. Copies can be obtained by sending 22 US dollars or 15 pounds sterling (this sum includes postal charges) to Prof. L. N. Trefethen, Dept. of Computer Science, Upson Hall, Cornell University, Ithaca, NY, 14853, USA (LNT@cs.cornell.edu).

Because of figures and other complications, not all of the book is in PostScript, so it would not be possible to make it fully available on the Web.
