Abstract
Recalling that most of the commonly used computational approaches involve numerical methods, we will now address the task of generating numerical solutions of problems in engineering systems and computation of their dynamics. Of the large number of numerical methods which are used for computation of the solutions, this chapter will present a brief account of some of the well-known methods [1–4]. These can be generally considered in several categories.
