Numerical Methods for Engineering offers an innovative approach that combines theory and numerous examples with the main purpose of guiding students and teachers in the field of engineering, on the understanding and application of classical numerical methods in the cognitive areas of computational arithmetic, solving equations in one variable, polynomial approximations, numerical differentiation and integration, numerical solution of differential equations and solving systems of linear equations. The work establishes a cognitive thread that gives a new perspective to the study of numerical methods, resorting to the use of a series of documents with a computable format (called CDF) designed and programmed by its authors and that use the Wolfram Language. The CDF created constitute implementations of the numerical methods addressed in the book, allowing the reader to visualize results and execute experiments in a fast, efficient and interactive way. Also, within the work the authors have strived to provide a didactic exposition of the topics using summary sheets and other resources that facilitate their reading. The book is an excellent alternative for engineering students and teachers interested in learning or teaching classical numerical methods, by combining the use of computational tools.
