I am an undergraduate student taking Numerical Analysis. I’m having a hard time understanding some of the material because it feels as though my instructor is jumping all over the place. When it comes to the applied problems I understand them and can complete them. But when he does a proof in class it’s hard to follow. Now he started giving proofs in the homework and I am getting stuck because I don’t feel I have a good grasp on the theory. To give you an idea of where our class is at, we are covering Secant Method. I took an Introduction to Real Analysis course where we covered up to Uniform Continuity and I felt that I was able to understand the proofs well. This class feels different for some reason. Does anybody have any book recommendations or resources that can make understanding the proofs easier?

How can I fix my understanding of Numerical Analysis?
