Industry Reviews

From the reviews of the second edition:

"Shapira delivers a systematic and unified presentation of the multigrid method that is used for the efficient solution of partial differential equations. ... The notations are consistent and the presentation is self-contained. The book is recommended to readers involved in the field of computational science and engineering, from the postgraduate to the expert level. Additionally, the book is suitable for courses in numerical analysis, numerical linear algebra, scientific computing, and numerical solution of partial differential equations." (George A. Gravvanis, ACM Computing Reviews, May, 2009)

"This book provides an introduction into this area. Basically, it presupposes only a sound knowledge of analysis and linear algebra and introduces all other necessary concepts on its own. ... Many exercises are included. The presentation is well suited for seminars in this area." (H. Muthsam, Monatshefte fuer Mathematik, Vol. 156 (3), March, 2009)
