Numerical methods are powerful problem-solving tools. Techniques of these methods are capable of handling large systems of equations, nonlinearities and complicated geometries in engineering practice which are impossible to be solved analytically. Numerical methods can solve the real world problem using the C program given in this book. This well-written text explores the basic concepts of numerical methods and gives computational algorithms, flow charts and programs for solving nonlinear algebraic equations, linear equations, curve fitting, integration, differentiation and differential equations. The book is intended for students of B.E. and B.Tech as well as for students of B.Sc. (Mathematics and Physics). Table of Contents List of Algorithms. List of Flow Charts. List of Programs. Preface. Numerical Solution of Algebraic and Transcendental Equations. Simultaneous Linear Non-Homogeneous Algebraic Equations. Itera- tive Method for Eigenvalues. Interpolation. Numerical Differentiation and Numerical Integration. Difference Equations. Numerical Solution of Ordinary Differential Equations. Boundary Value Problems. Index.
