NUMBERS AND FUNCTIONS: THEORY, FORMULATION, AND PYTHON CODES: Theory, Formulation, and Python Codes

This unique volume covers two fundamental elements of computational methods — numbers and functions. It provides an in-depth discussion of the behaviors of numbers, including both real and complex numbers. The discussion leads to the important closure properties of numbers, ensuring solution consistence and existence, and also possible failure in numerical computations in science and engineering.

This text then introduces types of functions that take numbers as independent variables and prod...
