This book presents a twenty-first century approach to classical polynomial and rational approximation theory. The reader will find a strikingly original treatment of the subject, completely unlike any of the existing literature on approximation theory, with a rich set of both computational and theoretical exercises for the classroom. There are many original features that set this book apart: the emphasis is on topics close to numerical algorithms; every idea is illustrated with Chebfun examples;...

This is the only book on spectral methods built around MATLAB programs. Along with finite differences and finite elements, spectral methods are one of the three main technologies for solving partial differential equations on computers. Since spectral methods involve significant linear algebra and graphics they are very suitable for the high level programming of MATLAB. This hands-on introduction is built around forty short and powerful MATLAB programs, which the reader can download from the World...

Hugh Johnson has identified that California's Trefethen wines offer "some of the best value in the state". And judging by the family's retrospective 'vertical tastings' (same wines, different vintages), the Cabernets seem able to age for a couple of decades or more, depending on the year. So no rush with the 2008.The winery was designed in 1886 to use a winch to bring grapes to the third floor for crushing and a gravity flow system to carry the juice to lower floors (de rigueur for 'zero carbon'...

Acclaimed mathematician Lloyd N Trefethen, Professor of Numerical Analysis at Oxford University, has created an intellectual diary, marking the development of his...

This book is the funniest, drollest, wisest book on the shelf for the would-be cruiser. Trefethen pulls no punches. He tells you just what will be involved if you and your family decide to "let slip the surly bonds of earth" and set sail. How to get ready, how to finance the voyage, how to live on your boat with maximum peace of mind and minimum hassle, and what equipment you do and don't need. (What you don't need may surprise you.)

The economics of fixing up an old boat are exactly the same as the economics of fixing up an old house: You substitute time you can spare for money that you can't. Either way you end up with something you probably couldn't have otherwise afforded. As if that weren't enough, you also learn a whole new set of skills and gain a healthy measure of self-respect and satisfaction. You develop a deep and thorough knowledge of your boat - or house - that allows you to fix something gone awry instead of being...

This is a concise, insightful introduction to the field of numerical linear algebra. The clarity and eloquence of the presentation make it popular with teachers and students alike. The text aims to expand the reader's view of the field and to present standard material in a novel way. All of the most important topics in the field are covered with a fresh perspective, including iterative methods for systems of equations and eigenvalue problems and the underlying principles of conditioning and stability...

This book provides a comprehensive look at the Schwarz-Christoffel transformation, including its history and foundations, practical computation, common and less common variations, and many applications in fields such as electromagnetism, fluid flow, design and inverse problems, and the solution of linear systems of equations. It is an accessible resource for engineers, scientists, and applied mathematicians who seek more experience with theoretical or computational conformal mapping techniques. The...

In 1979 Trefethen Chardonnay was named 'Best Chardonnay in the World' at the Gault Millau World Wine Olympics in France. Key to its success is the Oak Knoll district of Napa Valley, where well drained soils and a marine influenced climate yield Chardonnay grapes with rich, balanced flavours.The 1886 winery was designed to use a horse drawn winch to bring grapes to the top floor for crushing and a gravity flow system to carry juice to lower floors (de rigueur in zero carbon wineries even today). It...
