Numerical Methods (with Diskette)

Designed for the core course on the subject, this book seeks to provide students with a sound introduction to Numerical Methods. Logical arrangement of topics, clarity of presentation and illustration through examples aid the student in becoming adept at applying the methods; A number of unique features make this book different from other existing books in the field; Mathematical derivation of each method is given to build the reader’s understanding of numerical analysis; Wherever possible algorithms are given using psuedocodes; The concept, cause and consequence of errors in the application of numerical computing is highlighted; Error analysis of each method is tackled in detail; Emphasis on computer arithmetic, different from real arithmetic; Aim and Scope at the chapter opening; Summary and Key terms at the chapter end; 129 solved examples; Review questions and practise exercises to enhance application skills; Programming projects to enable students to test programming skills; Diskette containing FORTRAN and C languages source codes of all the programs in the book.
