The book "The Graduate Student's Guide to Numerical Analysis '98" offers a comprehensive collection of lecture notes presented during the Eighth EPSRC Numerical Analysis Summer School at the University of Leicester in 1998. This event brought together a variety of experts who illuminated different aspects of numerical analysis. The lectures were selected to cover a wide range of topics, leading to stimulating discussions and a deeper understanding of the concepts. The structure of the book is alphabetical, which facilitates access to the content. The editors Mark Ainsworth, Jeremy Levesley, and Marco Marletta have carefully compiled the lecture notes to provide readers with valuable insights into the developments and challenges of numerical analysis. With a total of 252 pages and 22 illustrations, this work is of interest to both students and professionals who wish to engage with the fundamentals and advanced topics of numerical analysis.
