Numerical Computation UniOviedo

This PDF is prepared by Gonzalo Galiano Casas and Esperanza Garcia Gonzalo from the Department of Mathematics at Oviedo University. With a view to keeping things compact, this document initiates with finite arithmetic and error analysis, which forms the basis necessary for understanding the issue of numerical precision and limitations. It considers methods for nonlinear equations, interpolation, and approximation. Key sections on numerical differentiation and integration give hands-on tools both for data analysis and the solution of mathematical problems. It also covers systems of linear equations and optimization, rounding it out for students and practitioners who might want to apply the numerical methods through a variety of problems.

Numerical Computation by Peter Bastian

Numerical Topics in Fluid Dynamics Computation!!! Peter Bastian Authored - This PDF covers advanced numerical computation topics but puts more emphasis on the solution of computational fluid dynamics. The book starts with the modeling of immiscible fluid flow in a composite porous medium, thus laying down the basics for the equations of multiphase fluid flow. It then provides fully implicit methods that have been used to find the finite volume discretization of systems for complex algebraic equations. Two important chapters are the parallelization methods that result in higher productivity of computation and the UG framework used for carrying out grid computations. Numerical results are then presented, which allow deriving some conclusions concerning practical applications and performance. The document will be particularly useful to researchers and engineers studying computational fluid dynamics and related numerical modeling problems.

Applied Numerical Computing

Prof. L. Vandenberghe's lecture note is on applied numerical computing but brings out the practical application aspect. The text covers most areas of numerical linear algebra, nonlinear optimization nonlinear least squares, introduction to floating-point numbers, and rounding errors that are to be needed for understanding the issues of numerical precision. Examples are drawn from signal and image processing, control systems, and machine learning, among other areas, to indicate how these numerical methods are actually applied. This resource aims to fill the gap between theory and practice by providing a practical method for solving computational problems.

Lectures in Basic Computational Numerical Analysis (PDF 168P)

This lecture series provides comprehensive foundational knowledge in the field of numerical computational analysis. Numerical Linear Algebra covers basic matrix operations and solutions of linear systems. The book further goes into the Solution of Nonlinear Equations that shows methods for solving equations which are not linear in form. Finally, it discusses Approximation Theory, showing how functions and data may be approximated. The lectures also cover Numerical Solution of ODEs and PDEs, giving ways to solve these two basic kinds of equations. This resource is intended for students and professionals looking to gain a solid understanding of basic and applied numerical analysis techniques.
