Computer Oriented Numerical Techniques

3 Credits

Introduction and Objectives: In todays world the practical problems are quite complex and it may not be
possible to find their analytical solutions. Hence we have to resort to computer oriented numerical methods
for solving them. Numerical analysis provides knowledge of various techniques to get mathematical entities
involved in solving the problems.
