NUMERICAL METHODS AND ITS
APPLICATIONS
What is Numerical method?
 Numerical method is an approach for solving complex
mathematical problems using simple arithmetic
operations.
 It involves the formulation of model of physical situations
that can be solved by arithmetic operations
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 can not 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 to solve
 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 modelling which includes various
equations and data to describe and predict the behaviour of
systems.
 Computers are widely used which give accurate results and are
cheap and affordable to all.
 Many software packages are available that can be used to solve
the problems.
APPLICATIONS OF NUMERICAL METHODS
MODELLING USING NUMERICAL METHOD
 Numerical methods are used in modelling 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.
Steps to solve:
1. Write your numerical modelling code.
2. Find a simple analytical model and divide into segments.
3. The dimensions are to be specified.
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 it is applied
 Develop a mathematical problem with your skills and the
requirement.
 Come up with a numerical algorithm.
 Implement the algorithm.
 Run, debug, test the code.
 Visualize and interpret the result.
 Validate the result.
