Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book is an introduction to the approximation of numeric values, a fundamental part of scientific and engineering calculations, where the measured values are only approximate and exact calculations aren't feasible. Starting with guidelines for making direct measurements, the author then introduces methods for making indirect measurements, and the concept of limits. The book also offers various methods for approximate multiplication and division, as well as techniques for finding logarithms of approximate numbers. Numerical examples are used throughout to demonstrate the concepts discussed. The book contains chapters on areas bounded by curves and volumes of solids, and concludes with a look at finding the approximate roots of trigonometric functions. The book concludes by discussing the use of vectors in representing forces and displacements, which are quantities fully determined by their magnitude and direction. This book will be of value to students of Mathematics and researchers in various scientific and engineering disciplines who seek to understand the methods of numerical approximation.
