3.0 out of 5 stars Good Overview
This is a nice book for a person to get a good overview of iterative methods. The detail is often lacking, however the book is a good introduction to the field. The authors are some of the biggest names in the field and the book shows some insight into the theory and application of iterative methods.

4.0 out of 5 stars Definitely worth it., March 28, 2003

This review is from: Templates for the Solution of Linear Systems: Building Blocks for Iterative Methods (Miscellaneous Titles in Applied Mathematics Series No 43) (Paperback)
An excellent, concise book for the iterative solution of linear systems by a entire plethora of current researchers in the field. It not only quickly introduces the various iterative methods, stationary and non-stationary, e.g. Jacobi, SOR, Gauss-Seidel, Conjugate Gradient etc, but briefly analyses them in terms of current research whether unpreconditioned or preconditioned. In addition it considers other more specialised techniques involving domain decomposition and fast solvers. All round excellent although the book is available for free from the website. Definitely worth it.
