The book is titled "Computer Oriented Numerical Methods."
The textbook is authored by Harpreet Kaur Wandhwa, Gurvinder Kaur, and Sandeep Aggarwal.
This textbook is tailored specifically for BCA (Bachelor of Computer Applications) 2nd-year students, particularly those in the 3rd semester under Panjab University, Chandigarh.
The book covers a comprehensive range of topics, including: Data representation and computer arithmetic Solutions of non-linear and linear equations Interpolation techniques Numerical integration Approximation of functions Solutions of ordinary differential equations
"Computer Oriented Numerical Methods" emphasizes practical programming assignments and includes unsolved question papers for self-assessment. This combination provides hands-on experience while preparing students for their examinations.
Yes, the textbook includes practical programming assignments designed to give students hands-on experience in applying theoretical knowledge to real-world numerical problems.
The book includes unsolved question papers intended for self-assessment, allowing students to practice and gauge their understanding of the material.
The examination consists of four units with a total of nine questions. Students must attempt one question from each unit and one compulsory question that covers the entire syllabus.
Unit 1: Covers concepts of differentiation, integration, matrix algebra, and computer arithmetic. Unit 2: Focuses on solving non-linear equations, simultaneous linear equations using direct and iterative methods. Unit 3: Discusses interpolation methods and numerical integration techniques. Unit 4: Addresses approximation of functions and solutions for ordinary differential equations, including Euler's and Runge-Kutta methods.
While prior programming knowledge may be helpful, the book is designed to be accessible, making it suitable for students with varying levels of experience in programming and numerical methods.
