Polynomial Approximation.- Basic Approaches to Constructing Spectral Methods.- Algebraic Systems and Solution Techniques.- Polynomial Approximation Theory.- Theory of Stability and Convergence.- Analysis of Model Boundary-Value Problems.- Erratum.

Since the publication of "Spectral Methods in Fluid Dynamics" 1988, spectral methods have become firmly established as a mainstream tool for scientific and engineering computation. The authors of that book have incorporated into this new edition the many improvements in the algorithms and the theory of spectral methods that have been made since then. This latest book retains the tight integration between the theoretical and practical aspects of spectral methods, and the chapters are enhanced with material on the Galerkin with numerical integration version of spectral methods. The discussion of direct and iterative solution methods is also greatly expanded.

The authors are among the leading researchers in the field of computational fluid dynamics and have pioneered and promoted the "Spectral Methods in Fluid Dynamics".
