Includes bibliographical references and index.

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-proceedings of the 5th International Conference on Numerical Methods and Applications, NMA 2002, held in Borovets, Bulgaria, in August 2002. The 58 revised full papers presented together with 6 invited papers were carefully selected from numerous submissions during two rounds of reviewing and improvement. In accordance with various mini-symposia, the papers are organized in topical sections on Monte Carlo and Quasi-Monte Carlo methods, robust iterative solution methods and applications, control and uncertainty systems, numerical methods for sensor data processing, as well as in a section comprising various other methods, tools, and applications.
