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.
