The history and development of numerical analysis …
The history and development of numerical analysis inScotland: a personal perspective G. A. Watson,Division of mathematics ,University of Dundee,Dundee DD1 4HN, account is given of the history and development of numerical analysis inScotland. This covers, in particular, activity in Edinburgh in the first half of the20th century, the collaboration between Edinburgh and St Andrews in the 1960s,and the role played by Dundee from the 1970s. I will give some reminiscences frommy own time at both Edinburgh and IntroductionTo provide a historical account of numerical analysis (or of anything else), it is necessaryto decide where to begin. If numerical analysis is defined to be the study of algorithmsfor the problems of continuous mathematics [16], then of course it has a very long history (see, for example, [6], [13]). But modern numerical analysis is inextricably linked withcomputing machines.
