The Numerical Methods Lab (Using C-programming language) is conducted by the Dept. of Mathematics (in collaboration with the Dept. of CSE)
The role of numerical methods in solving engineering problems has
increased dramatically in recent years. Numerical methods are techniques by
which mathematical methods are formulated to solve certain class of engineering
problems. Most real life engineering problems have solutions which are approximate
in nature. Approximation leads to errors. Thus problems of the real world need
measurement errors. The motive of Numerical Analysis is to: (i) get to know how
fast errors hamper solutions and, (ii) find better algorithms that cause less
error.
Apart from theoretical study, numerical methods are also taught using
computers (computer languages), because computers excel at performing such
operations in quick time.
