This is the first comprehensive textbook to provide detailed coverage of numerical methods, their algorithms, and corresponding computer programs. The book presents many techniques for the efficient numerical solution of problems in science and engineering. It develops students¿ understanding of the construction of numerical algorithms and the applicability of the methods. Along with numerous worked-out examples, end-of-chapter exercises, and Mathematica® programs, the book includes the standard algorithms for numerical computation.

This book covers the applications of new analytical and numerical methods, including wavelet methods to explain the physical behavior of nuclear reactors. Fractional calculus represents the reactor more closely than classical integer order calculus. The reactor kinetics model has therefore been presented in this context and analytical and numerical solutions have been provided. Describing the reactor through fractional calculus helps readers understand fractional order control and achieve overall plant efficiency.
