Numerical methods for scientific and engineering computation/ M.K. Jain, S.R.K. Iyengar and R.K. Jain

By: Contributor(s): Material type: TextTextPublication details: New Delhi: Wiley Eastern Limited, 1985Edition: 2ndDescription: xii, 470 pages; 20 cmISBN:
  • 0852264348
Subject(s): DDC classification:
  • 23 518.47 J25
Contents:
High speed computation -- Transcendental and polynomial equations -- System of linear algebraic equations and Eigenvalue problems -- Interpolation and approximation -- Differentiation and integration -- Ordinary differential equations -- Partial differential equations
Summary: Numerical Methods for Scientific and Engineering Computation is appropriate as a text book for the first course and partly for the second course in numerical analysis. The book is largely self-contained, the courses in calculus and matrices are essential. Some of the special features of the book are: classical and recently developed numerical methods are derived from the high speed computation view point; comparative study of the numerical methods is given to bring out advantages and disadvantages in the implementation of the methods; about 300 problems including BIT problems (1964-83) are listed at the end of Chapters 2 - 7, to serve as exercises and extension to the text; answers and hints to the problems at the end of the book as well as the solved examples in the body of the text will help the students to understand the basic concepts.
