• On page 5: 9 lines from the bottom, we should have 2128 ≈ 3.4 × 1038 .
• On page 82: 3rd last line, should be: ”... In the end, m + 1 will be exactly the order of
the method.
• On page 84: The line before equation (4.7.22), at the end of the line, it should be n = 1
instead of N = 1.
• On page 85: In the table 4.1 on the top of the page, the up-left corner should be n + 1
instead of n.
x2 = · · ·
instead of x2 = · · ·.
• On page 148: After SOR iterations, in the 4th equation a w is missing in front of b.
The correct equation should be
• On page 150: For Theorem 7.2, it should be added that the convergence of SOR also
requires the A matrix to be positive definite.
• On page 163: In the middle of the page, the equation for S should be
S(t) = ā + b̄t.
And 5 lines below, the line should begin with: “ that S(t) best fits ...”

• On page 237, in the last equation, the vector ~b for N = 5 should have length 4 × 4 = 16.
The two middle blocks contain an extra 0, which should be removed.
• On page 247, in the equation for θ-scheme on line 4, there denominators for the terms
on the righthand side should be ∆x2 , i.e., without the factor 2.
