Features: This book focuses on introducing commonly used numerical computation methods on computers. It covers fundamental knowledge including error and norm concepts, methods for solving univariate nonlinear equations, solving systems of linear equations, matrix eigenvalue computation, interpolation methods, curve fitting and B-spline curves, numerical integration and differentiation, and numerical solutions for initial value problems of ordinary differential equations and systems. The book is divided into 7 chapters. Common algorithms provide programming steps for computational calculations, along with reference programs written in C language for hands-on experiments. Each chapter includes numerous examples and exercises, and the appendix offers answers to exercises and examples of solving common numerical computation problems using MATLAB. The book presents content in a clear and progressive manner with easy-to-understand language, making it suitable for self-study. It is ideal as a textbook for the Numerical Methods course in computer science programs at universities and colleges, as well as for use in other STEM disciplines.
