Introduction to numerical methods
The subject area of numerical methods consists of computa-tional approaches for solving mathematical problems. Rapiddevelopments in digital computing has underpined the develop-ment of numerical methods too. Thus, it provides easier andfaster ways of solving problems. In fact, numerical methods are
the definite alternatives if a problem cannot be solved analyti-cally or available algebraic methods to solve a problem are toocostly in terms of compuational time.
