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.

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?
