NUMERICAL METHODS

Numerical method is an approach for solving complex mathematical problems using


simple arithmetic operations. It involves the formulation of model of physical situation
that can be solved by arithmetic operations.

DIFFERENCE OF NUMERICAL METHODS TO OTHER MATHEMATICS


- PURE MATHEMATICS is concerned with pure numbers, whereas applied
mathematics is concerned with quantities such as numerical values and units of
measurement.
- APPLIED MATHEMATICS is employed in everyday life, whereas pure mathematics
is the study of principles with little practical application.

NEED OF NUMERICAL METHOD
- Mathematical models are a central piece of science and engineering.
- Some models have closed-form solutions; therefore they can be solved
analytically. Many models cannot be solved analytically or the analytic solution
is too costly to be practical.
- All models can be solved computationally and the result may not be the exact
answer but it can be useful.

STEPS INVOLVED SOLVING:


- Formulation of mathematical model.
- Construction of an appropriate numerical method.
- Implementation of the numerical method.
- Obtain the solution by solving.
- Validation of the solution.
-

WHY ARE NUMERICAL METHODS USED IN ENGINEERING?


- Engineers use mathematical modeling which includes various equations and
data to describe and predict the behavior of systems.
- Computers are widely used which give accurate results and are cheap and
affordable to all.
- Many software package are available that can be used to solve the problems.

MODELING USING NUMERICAL METHOD


- Numerical methods are used in modeling to reduce the number of prototypes to
be constructed.
- It is also used to get the exact or similar design which is needed in the best way.
SCIENTIFIC COMPUTING USING NUMERICAL METHODS
- Design and analysis for numerically solving mathematical problems in science
and engineering.
- Effect of approximations and performs error analysis.
- Modern simulations of engineering applications.
 How is it applied?
- Develop a mathematical problem with your skills and the
requirement.
- Come up with a numerical algorithm.
- Implement the algorithm
- Run, debug, and test the code.
- Visualize and interpret the result.
- Validate the results.

APPLICATION OF NUMERICAL METHODS IN DAY-TO-DAY LIFE


1. Estimation of ocean currents
2. Modeling of airflow over airplanes
3. Shock wave
4. Curve fitting of tabular data.
5. Electromagnetics
6. Shuffle tank separation
