Subject: New Book, Iterative Methods for Linear Systems

Announcing the July 18, 2014, publication by SIAM of:

Iterative Methods for Linear Systems: Theory and Applications, by 
Maxim A. Olshanskii and Eugene E. Tyrtyshnikov

2014 / xvi + 247 pages / Softcover / 978-1-611973-45-7 / List Price 
$85.00 / SIAM/MOS Member Price $59.50 / Order Code OT138

This is a mathematically rigorous introduction to fundamental 
iterative methods for systems of linear algebraic equations. The book 
distinguishes itself from other texts on the topic by providing a 
straightforward yet comprehensive analysis of the Krylov subspace 
methods, approaching the development and analysis of algorithms from 
various algorithmic and mathematical perspectives, and going beyond 
the standard description of iterative methods by connecting them in a 
natural way to the idea of preconditioning.  

It supplements standard texts on numerical mathematics for first-year 
graduate and advanced undergraduate courses and is suitable for 
advanced graduate classes covering numerical linear algebra and 
Krylov subspace and multigrid iterative methods. It will be useful to 
researchers interested in numerical linear algebra and engineers who 
use iterative methods for solving large algebraic systems.  

To order or for more about this book, including links to its table of 
contents, preface, and index, please visit
