Features: This textbook is designed for engineering students learning the course "Numerical Computation Methods." It covers topics such as interpolation and approximation, numerical integration and differentiation, numerical methods for solving nonlinear equations, numerical methods for solving systems of linear algebraic equations, and numerical methods for solving initial value problems of ordinary differential equations, among other commonly used computational methods in computers and their fundamental theories. The book not only systematically introduces the basic numerical methods for solving various mathematical problems but also provides theoretical analysis and justification for each numerical computation method. Each chapter includes typical examples and a certain number of exercises for practice. Answers to the exercises are provided at the end of the book, and the appendix lists several applications of numerical methods for computer practice. This book can serve as a textbook or reference for "Numerical Computation Methods" courses in engineering colleges and universities for various majors, as well as a reference for engineering professionals.
