✦ Synopsis

In the current times, computing is a very important skill to have. It is even better if you know the basics on which the computing and programming develops itself and the numerical approach that they involve. This is a field that is a subject of attention and study for several programming enthusiasts. This book, Introduction to Computer Programming and Numerical Methods, takes the readers through various such techniques that are used for programming and the numerical methods involved in them, to educate them about the fundamentals and starting point of computer programming.
