Thomas' algorithm is not stable in general, but is so in several special cases, such as when the matrix is diagonally dominant (either by rows or columns) or symmetric positive definite; [1] [2] for a more precise characterization of stability of Thomas' algorithm, see Higham Theorem 9.12. [3]

Apostol was born on August 20, 1923, in Helper, Utah.His parents, Emmanouil Apostolopoulos and Efrosini Papathanasopoulos, were Greek immigrants. [3] Apostolopoulos's name was shortened to Mike Apostol when he obtained his United States citizenship, and Tom Apostol inherited this Americanized surname.
When the number of independent variables is zero (i.e. the equations are all algebraic) secondary calculus reduces to classical differential calculus. All objects in secondary calculus are cohomology classes of differential complexes growing on diffieties. The latter are, in the framework of secondary calculus, the analog of smooth manifolds.
Calculus Made Easy ignores the use of limits with its epsilon-delta definition, replacing it with a method of approximating (to arbitrary precision) directly to the correct answer in the infinitesimal spirit of Leibniz, now formally justified in modern nonstandard analysis and smooth infinitesimal analysis.
