Description

This book shows how to use numerical methods on computers. These methods use numbers to solve math problems. It shows how to plot functions as graphs. It covers ways to solve algebraic equations. One is successive approximation. This means finding closer answers, step by step.

The book covers the bisection method. This method splits a range in half. It also covers Gauss-Jordan matrix inversion. This finds the inverse of a matrix. The book explains interpolation, too. This means finding values between known points. It covers Simpson’s rule for definite integrals. This rule finds a rough value for an area. The area lies under a curve, between set points.

This nonfiction book is for those who study these methods. It also covers programs that use a mouse. It deals with affine transforms, which change shapes. These changes keep straight lines straight. It covers 3D graphics, too. These show forms in three dimensions.
