Computer Based Numerical and Statistical Techniques

Computer Based Numerical and Statistical Techniques introduces the techniques to approximate mathematical procedures or solutions of problems that arise in science and engineering. Approximations to a solution are considered necessary because the analytical methods are either intractable or the problem under consideration cannot be solved analytically. Though there are a number of books available, most of them are without a detailed elucidation of errors in numerical analysis. This book is aimed at rectifying this problem. The text is carefully crafted to cater to the needs of BSc/MSc (mathematics and physics), BSc (computer science),engineering and MCA students. Salient features Mathematical derivations with detailed explanations Error analysis methods; concept, cause and consequence of errors are explained in detail Contains more than 250 solved examples with detailed explanations About 400 exercise questions for self-evaluation Answers to the exercises and hints to difficult questions Examination-oriented questions with answers are given in appendix.
