NUMERICAL METHODS : FUNDAMENTALS AND APPLICATIONS

Written in an easy-to-understand manner, this comprehensive textbook brings together both basic and advanced concepts of numerical methods in a single volume. Important topics including error analysis, nonlinear equations, systems of linear equations, interpolation and interpolation for Equal intervals and bivariate interpolation are discussed comprehensively. The textbook is written to cater to the needs of undergraduate students of mathematics, computer science, mechanical engineering, civil engineering and information technology for a course on numerical methods/numerical analysis. The text simplifies the understanding of the concepts through exercises and practical examples. Pedagogical features including solved examples and unsolved exercises are interspersed throughout the book for better understanding.
