Description:

With a clarity of approach, this easy-to-comprehend book gives an in-depth analysis of the topics under Numerical Methods, in a systematic manner. Primarily intended for the undergraduate and postgraduate students in many branches of engineering, physics, mathematics and all those pursuing Bachelors/Masters in computer applications. Besides students, those appearing for competitive examinations, research scholars and professionals engaged in numerical computation will also be benefited by this book.

The fourth edition of this book has been updated by adding a current topic of interest on Finite Element Methods, which is a versatile method to solve numerically, several problems that arise in engineering design, claiming many advantages over the existing methods. Besides, it introduces the basics in computing, discusses various direct and iterative methods for solving algebraic and transcendental equations and a system of non-linear equations, linear system of equations, matrix inversion and computation of eigenvalues and eigenvectors of a matrix. It also provides a detailed discussion on Curve fitting, Interpolation, Numerical Differentiation and Integration besides explaining various single step and predictor
