In Mathematical applications, there are several instances in which no direct methods are available for solving higher degree algebraic equations or transcendental equations, ie., the equations involving circular, logarithmic or exponential functions. Such equations are solved by numerical methods. The simultaneous linear algebraic equations occur quite often in various fields of engineering and science, Generally, the matrix inversion method or Cramer’s rule have been using to solve these equations. But these methods become difficult when the system consist large number of unknown variables. In such cases, numerical techniques can be adopted to find the solutions. If the values of a function f(x) are given for some finite values of x, then using the interpolation we can find the numerical value of f(x) for any other value of x in the given interval. We are familiar with various analytical methods in order to solve many ordinary differential equations. In physical problems, there are large numbers of ordinary differential equations which cannot be solved by analytical methods.In these cases, numerical solutions can be computed using various numerical methods.

The course is developed to enable the undergraduate students to get a comprehensive understanding of numerical techniques in solving various mathematical problems. We will begin the course with the methods of finding solution of algebraic and transcendental equations using

bisection method, regula falsi method, fixed point iteration method, Newton Raphson method and Horner’s method. The direct and indirect methods of solving linear system of algebraic equations will be discussed in this course. It include Gauss elimination method, Gauss Jordan method, Factorization method, Gauss Jacobi iteration method and gauss Seidel iteration method. This course also covers interpolation of equal and unequal intervals, numerical differentiation and numerical integration. Towards the end, the method finding numerical solution of first order
ordinary differential equations will be discussed. After the successful completion of this course, the learner would be familiarized with the way of solving complicated mathematical problems numerically using the appropriate numerical technique.
