The principal types of numerical methods being studied were projection methods (Galerkin, collocation) and Nystrom methods. During the 1950s and 1960s, functional analysis became the framework for the analysis of numerical methods for solving integral equations, and this inuenced the questions being asked. This paper looks at the history of the analyses being done at that time.","PeriodicalId":412573,"journal":{"name":"The Birth of Numerical Analysis","volume":"76 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131506698","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
