Candidates Are Required To Give Their Answers in Their Own Words As Far As Practicable. The Figures in The Margin Indicate Full Marks

This document is a numerical methods exam from Pokhara University in 2007. It contains 6 questions testing various numerical analysis techniques. The questions cover solving equations using methods like secant, fixed point iteration, and false position. They also involve fitting data with least squares, interpolation, numerical integration with Simpson's rule, solving differential equations with Runge-Kutta and shooting methods, and solving systems of equations using LU decomposition. Short notes are also required on topics like cubic splines, numerical differentiation, and convergence of fixed point iteration.
