Abstract
We use numerical methods to solve the equations and integrations for which exact solutions are not possible. Using numerical methods we find approximate solutions to these problems. Most of the real life problems fall in this category. While solving a problem using numerical methods, one has to perform a large number of computations by hand. Fortunately, computers are number crunchers, and hence, since the arrival of computers, this task has been mostly done by the computers. In this chapter, few numerical methods - listed below - are discussed in the context of C programming.
