Numerical Analysis in Engineering deals with the methods of obtaining numerical solutions to engineering problems. The topics discussed are normally covered in undergraduate engineering programs. These include an introduction to digital computers, function representation using Taylor’s series, error considerations in iterative type computations, searching for roots of equations in a single variable, solution of simultaneous equations, function approximation and interpolation, numerical integration and differentiation, matrix eigenvalue problems, solution of nonlinear system of equations, and solution of ordinary and partial differential equations. Advanced topics such as the generation of boundary characteristic orthogonal polynomials, boundary value problems have also been dealt with.

• Solved and Unsolved examples to illustrate concepts and algorithms · Numerous exercises · Case studies · Provides an insight and appreciation of the working of commercially available numerical softwares
