Iterative Krylov Methods for Large Linear Systems

'Henk van der Vorst is one of the mathematicians who shaped this new area from its beginning until present and he has now published the present book in CUP's series Cambridge Monographs on Applied and Computational Mathematics. ... the book will be particularly helpful in introductory university courses on numerical linear algebra. It strikes a neat balance between mathematical rigour and hands-on approaches for practical use and is therefore very well suited for courses with a mixed audience of mathematicians, engineers, and physicists. However, even the practitioner will find many tips and tricks and the more mathematically inclined can use this readable book with its 226 bibliographical items as a starting point to dive deeper into more specialized literature.'
