This thoroughly revised and updated text, now in its fifth edition, continues to provide a rigorous introduction to the fundamentals of numerical methods required in scientific and technological applications, emphasizing on teaching students numerical methods and in helping them to develop problem-solving skills.

While the essential features of the previous editions such as References to MATLAB, IMSL, Numerical Recipes program libraries for implementing the numerical methods are retained, a chapter on Spline Functions has been added in this edition because of their increasing importance in applications.

This text is designed for undergraduate students of all branches of engineering.

NEW TO THIS EDITION :

Includes additional modified illustrative examples and problems in every chapter.

Provides answers to all chapter-end exercises.

Illustrates algorithms, computational steps or flow charts for many numerical methods.

Contains four model question papers at the end of the text.

Store Description

The Reader's Corner is such fun,it's too bad you have to buy our books on line. We have eight foot tall outside bookshelves across the entire front of the store. There is a money slot in the door for night sales, which go to support National Public Radio. Inside, which can be too crowded at times, are surprisingly good books, only 1% are ever listed on-line. We also sell records, music cd's, comic books, mags, computer software and games. Best of all is the found art decorating every spare spot. The motto on the front door: NO SHOOTING, NO SMOKING, NO MOONING THE MANAGEMENT.
