Introductory Methods of Numerical Analysis  (English, Paperback, Sastry S. S.)

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.

• 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.
