<p>Last paragraph to First Edition PrefaceThis book presents what we think are the major methods of numerical integration.  We have tried to produce a balanced work that is both useful to the programmer and stimulating to the theoretician.  There are portions of the book where deep results of analysis are derived or are alluded to;yet, it has been our hope that most of the final results have been expressed in a way that is accessible to those with a background only in calculus.</p>

The Companion Guide to The Mathematical Experience, Study Edition has been created as a teaching tool, not only for the teacher and the student, but also for those students who are potential teachers. Its major purpose is to enhance the value of The Mathematical Experience, Study Edition as a textbook for teachers and to provide content and method for prospective teachers. Thus, unlike instructional guides that are available to the adopting teacher only, this Companion is available to the student or the teacher who wants independently to develop further skills in teaching mathematics. An additional value is that it provides suggested topics to explore that are not in the text but that coordinate beautifully to the text. The inclusion of these topics makes The Companion Guide a flexible teaching tool, adaptable to a variety of courses and useable with many individual selections of other course materials.The Companion Guide is rich in suggestions for classroom discussion topics. Each is linked to a chapter of the textbook and to the central idea of learning how to think, talk, and write ABOUT mathematics while learning how to DO mathematics. It provides insights into the subtleties of mathematical concepts and warns of pitfalls where ambiguity and misunderstanding often arise. It is a wealth of experience with ideas that WORK, gained through live classroom interaction by the authors and shared in this book with the reader.

<p>This book is a mathematical potpourri. Its material originated in classroom presentations, formal lectures, sections of earlier books, book reviews, or just things written by the author for his own pleasure. Written in a nontechnical fashion, this book expresses the unique vision and attitude of the author towards the role of mathematics in society. It contains observations or incidental remarks on mathematics, its nature, its impacts on education and science and technology, its personalities and their philosophies. The book is directed towards the math buffs of the world and, more generally, towards the literate and interested public. Philip Davis is known for his work in numerical analysis and approximation theory, as well as his investigations in the history and philosophy of mathematics. Currently a Professor Emeritus from the Division of Applied Mathematics at Brown University, Davis is known for his books both in the areas of computational mathematics and approximation theory and for books exploring certain questions in the philosophy of mathematics and the role of mathematics in society.</p>
