Foundations of Computational Mathematics, Minneapolis 2002 (London Mathematical Society Lecture Note Series, Series Number 312)

The Foundations of Computational Mathematics meetings are a platform for cross-fertilization between numerical analysis, mathematics and computer science. This volume, first published in 2004, contains the plenary presentations, given by some of the leading authorities in the world, and topics surveyed range from optimization to computer algebra, image processing to differential equations, quantum complexity to geometry. The volume will be essential reading for all those wishing to be informed of the state-of-the-art in computational mathematics.
