Features: This textbook is designed for master's students and senior undergraduate students in science and engineering universities, based on the basic requirements of the "Numerical Computation Methods" course set by the Ministry of Education. It covers fundamental content in numerical algebra, numerical analysis, and numerical solution methods for differential equations. The book not only introduces basic and commonly used numerical methods for approximating solutions to various mathematical problems but also emphasizes the fundamental ideas and principles behind algorithm construction. In terms of content arrangement, it balances theoretical rigor with practical methodology. Each chapter includes examples and numerical computation application cases, along with exercises to help readers consolidate and deepen their understanding. Detailed algorithms are provided for commonly used methods, and a brief introduction to MATLAB mathematical software is included at the end to facilitate readers in programming for numerical experiments.
