Numerical Methods: For Scientific and Engineering Computation (Paperback)

This book has grown from the lectures which we and our colleagues in the Department of Mathematics have delivered at the Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi. Both undergraduate and postgraduate students of various engineering disciplines and M.Sc. Mathematics (1st and 2nd year) students have attended these lectures. The material has also been covered in various summer schools organised by the Department of Mathematics at this Institute. Further, the book is based on the curriculum recommended by the workshop of the engineering college teachers held at IIT Delhi, sponsored by the Ministry of Education, Government of India.
Also, the book has a number of BIT problems which have appeared in the examinations of Course I and partly Course II of Numerical Analysis at the Universities and Institutes of Technology in the Scandinavian countries for the year 1964–1983. Evidently, the book will meet the requirements of the students taking a first course in Numerical Analysis at most of the international universities and institutes of technology.
