This book provides a detailed presentation of basic spectral algorithms, as well as a systematical presentation of  basic convergence theory and error analysis for spectral methods. Readers of this book will be exposed to a unified framework for designing and analyzing spectral algorithms for a variety of problems, including in particular high-order differential equations and problems in unbounded domains. The book contains a large number of figures which are designed to illustrate various concepts stressed in the book. A set of basic matlab codes has been made available online to help the readers to develop their own spectral codes for their specific applications UR - http://148.231.10.114:2048/login?url=http://link.springer.com/book/10.1007/978-3-540-71041-7 ER -
