The Fourth Edition of "Numerical Methods for Engineers" continues the tradition of excellence it established as the winner of the ASEE Meriam/Wiley award for Best Textbook. Instructors love it because it is a comprehensive text that is easy to teach from. Students love it because it is written for them - with great pedagogy and clear explanations and examples throughout. This edition features an even broader array of applications, including all engineering disciplines. The revision retains the successful pedagogy of the prior editions. Chapra and Canale's unique approach opens each part of the text with sections called Motivation, Mathematical Background, and Orientation, preparing the student for what is to come in a motivating and engaging manner. Each part closes with an Epilogue containing sections called Trade-Offs, Important Relationships and Formulas, and Advanced Methods and Additional References
