Numerical Analysis In Engineering

This text deals with the methods of obtaining numerical solutions to engineering problems. The topics discussed are those that are normally covered in undergraduate engineering programs. It includes an introduction to digital computers, function representation using Taylor's series, error consideration 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 solutions of ordinary and partial differential equations.
