This concise introduction to Numerical Methods blends the traditional algebraic approach with the computer-based approach, with special emphasis on evolving algorithms which have been directly transformed into programs in C++. Each numerical method used for solving nonlinear algebraic equations, simultaneous linear equations, differentiation, integration, ordinary differential equations, curve-fitting, etc. is accompanied by an algorithm and the corresponding computer program. All computer programs have been test run on Linux ‘Ubuntu C++’ as well as Window-based ‘Dev C++’, Visual C++ and ‘Turbo C++’ compiler systems. Since different types of C++ compilers are in use today, instructions have been given with each computer program to run it on any kind of compiler. To this effect, an introductory chapter on C++ compilers has been added for ready reference by the students and teachers. Another major feature of the book is the coverage of the practicals prescribed for laboratory work in Numerical Analysis. Each chapter has a large number of laboratory tested programming examples and exercises including questions from previous years’ examinations. This textbook is intended for the undergraduate science students pursuing courses in BSc (Hons.) Physics, BSc (Hons.) Electronics and BSc (Hons.) Mathematics. It is also suitable for courses on Numerical Analysis prescribed for the engineering students of all disciplines.

This book clearly presents the algorithms required for easy implementation of numerical methods in computer programming. The book deals with the important topics of numerical methods, including errors in numerical computation, in a lucid style. Chapter-end short questions with answers and appendices with theory questions and ‘C’ programs are student-friendly feature of the book.

This book summarizes advances in a number of fundamental areas of optimization with application in engineering design. The selection of the 'best' or 'optimum' design has long been a major concern of designers and in recent years interest has grown in applying mathematical optimization techniques to design of large engineering and industrial systems, and in using the computer-aided design packages with optimization capabilities which are now available.

The book is designed to cover all major aspects of applied numerical methods, including numerical computations, solution of algebraic and transcendental equations, finite differences and interpolation, curve fitting, correlation and regression, numerical differentiation and integration, matrices and linear system of equations, numerical solution of ordinary differential equations, and numerical solution of partial differential equations. MATLAB is incorporated throughout the text and most of the problems are executed in MATLAB code. It uses a numerical problem-solving orientation with numerous examples, figures, and end of chapter exercises. Presentations are limited to very basic topics to serve as an introduction to more advanced topics. FEATURES: Integrates MATLAB throughout the text Includes over 600 fully-solved problems with step-by-step solutions Limits presentations to basic concepts of solving numerical methods

This book introduces the reader to many of the problems of scientific computing and the wide variety of methods used for their solutions. It discusses basic approaches and stimulates an appreciation of the need for numerical methods in solving different types of problems. For each of the problems presented, the author provides some mathematical justification and examples. These serve as practical evidence and motivation for the reader to follow. Practical justification of the methods is provided through computer examples and exercises. The book includes an introduction to MATLAB, but the code used is not intended to exemplify sophisticated or robust pieces of software; it is purely illustrative of the method under discussion.

Previous editions of this popular textbook offered an accessible and practical introduction to numerical analysis. An Introduction to Numerical Methods: A MATLAB® Approach, Fourth Edition continues to present a wide range of useful and important algorithms for scientific and engineering applications. The authors use MATLAB to illustrate each numerical method, providing full details of the computed results so that the main steps are easily visualized and interpreted. This edition also includes a new chapter on Dynamical Systems and Chaos. Features Covers the most common numerical methods encountered in science and engineering Illustrates the methods using MATLAB Presents numerous examples and exercises, with selected answers at the back of the book

In this book, various numerical methods are discussed in a comprehensive way. It delivers a mixture of theory, examples and MATLAB® practicing exercises to help the students in improving their skills.
