| Summary |
"This unique book is an introduction to a subject whose use has steadily increased over the past 40 years. An update of Ramon Moore's previous books on the topic, it provides broad coverage of the subject as well as the historical perspective of one of the originators of modern interval analysis. The authors give a hands-on introduction to INTLAB, a high-quality, comprehensive MATLAB, toolbox for interval computations, making this the first interval analysis book that does with INTLAB what general numerical analysis texts do with MATLAB." "Introduction to Interval Analysis will be valuable to engineers and scientists interested in scientific computation, especially in reliability, effects of roundoff error, and automatic verification of results. The introductory material is particularly important for experts in global optimization and constraint solution algorithms. This book is suitable for introducing the subject to students in these areas."--BOOK JACKET |
