Features: This book introduces commonly used numerical computation methods on computers, providing a concise explanation of the basic theory and implementation of numerical computation methods, and discusses the convergence and stability of numerical algorithms. The content includes error analysis in numerical computation, numerical methods for solving nonlinear equations, numerical methods for solving systems of linear algebraic equations, interpolation and fitting, numerical integration and numerical differentiation, and numerical methods for solving initial value problems of ordinary differential equations. The selection of material considers both fundamental principles and practicality, with an approach that aims to be both in-depth and accessible, supplemented by typical examples. Each chapter concludes with a rich set of exercises, and answers to the exercises are provided at the end of the book. This book can serve as a textbook or reference for undergraduate students in engineering disciplines of higher education institutions for numerical analysis or computational methods, and can also be used as a reference for scientists and engineers engaged in scientific and engineering computations.
