About

This book is based on our lecture notes from teaching MATH 3650 - "Numerical Methods for Engineers" at Clemson University since 2010. It is geared towards sophomore-level engineering and science students and covers numerical methods for solving problems such as linear systems, nonlinear equations, eigenvalue problems, numerical integration, differential equations, and more.
A second edition with various fixes, improvements, and some extra materials was released in 2023.

Overview

Nowadays most mathematics done in practice is done on a computer. In engineering it is necessary to solve more than 1 million equations simultaneously, and computers can be used to reduce the calculation time from years to minutes or even seconds. This book explains: How can we approximate these important mathematical processes? How accurate are our approximations? How efficient are our approximations?
