Features: This book is aimed at computational methods in computer science, serving as a new type of textbook that integrates algorithms, programming, and mathematical model examples. Through the study of this course, students can truly achieve the goal of applying what they have learned. The book consists of 7 chapters, each relatively independent and self-contained. The main content includes an introduction to numerical algorithms, numerical solutions to systems of linear equations, iterative methods for nonlinear equations and nonlinear systems, interpolation methods and data fitting, numerical calculus, numerical solutions to ordinary differential equations, and numerical solutions to partial differential equations, among others. Starting from the second chapter, each chapter includes programming and mathematical modeling examples related to the chapter content. Reference answers to exercises are also provided in the appendix. The book is well-chosen in content, concise and practical, with clear and easy-to-understand explanations. It can be used as a textbook for university science and engineering students, as well as a reference book for students in higher vocational colleges.
