This book is devoted to giving a modern view of iterative methods for solving linear and nonlinear equations, which are the basis for many, if not most, of the models of phenomena in science and engineering; their efficient numerical solution is critical to progress in these areas. The text provides motivating examples mainly from boundary value problems with partial differential equations, and many of the chapters contain links to MATLAB code, which is provided per anonymous ftp by the author. This is the first book to be published on nonlinear equations since the mid-1980s. Although it stresses recent developments in this area, considerable material on linear equations has been incorporated. It focuses on a small number of methods and treats them in depth. The author provides a complete analysis of the conjugate gradient and generalized minimum residual iterations as well as recent advances including Newton-Krylov methods, incorporation of inexactness and noise into the analysis, new proofs and implementations of Broyden's method, and globalization of inexact Newton methods. Examples, methods, and algorithmic choices are based on applications to infinite dimensional problems such as partial differential equations and integral equations. The analysis and proof techniques are constructed with the infinite dimensional setting in mind and the computational examples and exercises are based on the MATLAB environment.
