Features: This book can be used as a textbook for "Computational Methods" courses in non-mathematics majors of science and engineering disciplines in higher education institutions, and can also be referenced by scientific computing professionals. It is a national key textbook for general higher education under the "Nineth Five-Year Plan" and a textbook for mathematics courses in science and engineering disciplines in the 21st century. The book mainly introduces common basic numerical methods and their algorithm design for solving various numerical problems on computers, including direct methods for solving systems of linear equations, interpolation methods and least squares methods for function approximation, numerical integration and differentiation, numerical solutions of ordinary differential equations, iterative methods for solving systems of linear and nonlinear equations, and power methods for matrix eigenvalue problems. The content of the textbook is closely integrated with computer usage.
