Computational Methods for Engineers

This text examines the link between the mathematical and the numerical model in a succinct manner. Numerical algorithms relevant to engineers are developed and applied to solve industrial problems. Topics include:

• Roots of non-linear equations.
• Systems of linear algebraic equations.
• Interpolation and curve fitting.
• Numerical differentiation and integration.
• Ordinary differential equations – initial value problems.
• Ordinary differential equations – boundary value problems.
• Partial differential equations.
