Computational Methods in Engineering: Code No: MA1902 M. Tech I Semester Regular Examinations, April 2015

The document is a past exam paper for a computational methods in engineering course. It contains 8 questions related to numerical analysis techniques including Gauss-Seidel method, least squares fitting, Rayleigh-Ritz method, Crank-Nicolson method, correlation analysis, line-word conversion, linear programming using the Big-M method, and integer programming using branch and bound. The questions involve applying these techniques to example problems and data sets.
