>>11335183After reading the table of contents I'd like to revise a little bit of what I said here
>>11335457It seems like the book is primarily focusing on numerical analysis, and while there have certainly been developments in the field, quite a lot of it is unchanged since the 1960s as well. I'd recommend having a basic understanding of calculus, ODEs, linear algebra, and maybe a bit of computer architecture if you want to understand the limitations of digital "numbers" that the computational methods are interacting with (as they will matter significantly more if you're working with a system as limited as they were in the 1960's in comparison to modern 64 bit floating points). There are quite a few modern numerical analysis textbooks which can address much of the same topics without also being incredibly dated, but I think a lot of the basics of interpolation, numerical integration, and numerical solutions to ODEs/linear systems are probably very similar to what an undergraduate would learn today. The major difference would be in the actual process of application, where these things would be done with digital logic circuits and analog RLC processes in the 1960s, it's going to be almost entirely based around programming with some object oriented or procedural language today.
