Tea Time Numerical Analysis 
by Leo Brin

Summary 
Tea Time Numerical Analysis: Experiences in Mathematics by Leon Q. Brin is a free, open-source introductory textbook designed for a one-semester undergraduate course in numerical analysis. Written in a conversational style, it covers the fundamental topics of the subject—including error analysis, root-finding methods, interpolation, numerical differentiation and integration, and ordinary differential equations—while emphasizing the underlying mathematics rather than engineering applications. 
The book combines theory, proofs, worked examples, exercises, and open-source computational tools such as Octave, and is accompanied by numerous code examples, interactive applets, and supplementary materials. Its goal is to provide an accessible yet rigorous introduction to numerical methods for mathematics students, offering a complete, freely available alternative to traditional commercial textbooks.
