Features: This book is a comprehensive textbook on numerical computation methods. It is divided into seven chapters, covering topics such as the study of numerical methods and error analysis, numerical solutions of nonlinear equations (systems), direct and iterative methods for solving linear systems, interpolation and curve fitting for function approximation, numerical integration and differentiation, numerical solutions of initial and boundary value problems for ordinary differential equations, and numerical solutions of matrix eigenvalues and eigenvectors. The book is characterized by clear concepts, rigorous theoretical analysis, and easy-to-understand language, with a strong emphasis on practicality. All algorithms are accompanied by pseudocode and flowcharts. Each chapter includes a certain number of exercises for readers to practice. This book can serve as a textbook for undergraduate students in non-mathematics disciplines such as computer application at universities and colleges, as well as a reference for graduate students in engineering. It is also suitable for scientists and engineers engaged in scientific and engineering computing.
