Features: This book focuses on introducing commonly used numerical computation methods in computer practice. It covers fundamental knowledge including the concepts of error and examples, methods for solving univariate nonlinear equations, methods for solving linear equations, calculation of matrix eigenvalues, 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 of equations. This book emphasizes the commonly used numerical computation methods in computers. It includes fundamental knowledge such as the concepts of error and norms, methods for solving univariate nonlinear equations, methods for solving systems of linear equations, calculation of matrix eigenvalues, 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 of equations. The book is divided into 7 chapters. Common algorithms provide programming steps for computational calculations, along with reference programs written in C language, facilitating hands-on experiments. Each chapter includes numerous examples and exercises, and the appendix provides answers to the exercises and examples of solving common numerical computation problems using MATLAB. The book is written in a clear and accessible manner, progressing from simple to complex, making it easy for self-study. This book is suitable as a textbook for the course on numerical methods in computer science programs at universities and colleges, as well as for use in numerical methods courses in other STEM disciplines.
