The book presents various methods of numerical analysis in a clear style. It provides an amalgamation of both theory and practice using a wide variety of examples and problems to help the students sharpen their skills. Computer calculations are presented in the form of tables and graphs whenever possible so that the resulting numerical approximations are easier to visualize and interpret. In an easy to understand and friendly style, the authors explain how numerical methods work and their limitations. Throughout, it maintains a balance between theory, error analysis, and readability. This book is suitable for undergraduate students in mathematics, computer science, physical sciences and engineering.
