INTRODUCTORY METHODS OF NUMERICAL ANALYSIS

by S. S. SASTRY

Overview

This thoroughly revised and updated text, now in its fifth edition, continues to provide a rigourous introduction to the fundamentals of numerical methods required in scientific and technological applications, emphasising on teaching students numerical methods and in helping them to develop problem-solving skills. While the essential features of the previous editions such as References to MATLAB, IMSL, Numerical Recipes program libraries for implementing the numerical methods are retained, a chapter on Spline Functions has been added in this edition because of their increasing importance in applications. This text is designed for undergraduate students of all branches of engineering. NEW TO THIS EDITION : Includes additional modified illustrative examples and problems in every chapter. Provides answers to all chapter-end exercises. Illustrates algorithms, computational steps or flow charts for many numerical methods. Contains four model question papers at the end of the text.
