Designed as a textbook for undergraduate and postgraduate students of engineeringand science, Numerical Methods: For Engineering and Science is an attempt to explainthe concepts and principles in such a way that the methods can be applied to anydiscipline.

The book begins with an introduction to the concept of numerical method as an

approximation for solving a mathematical problem and the various kinds of errors andconditions associated with such a method. Subsequently, the book provides detailedexplanations of numerical methods for linear system of equations, single as well asmultiple non-linear equations, approximation of functions, numerical derivatives andintegrals, single and multiple ordinary differential equations, boundary value problems,and partial differential equations. The last chapter introduces some advanced topicssuch as approximation using rational functions, finite element methods, and multi-gridmethods, for the students interested in numerical computations.

The ingenious use of a popular comic character to introduce various mathematicalproblems is integrated throughout the book to highlight applications of differentnumerical methods.
