Numerical methods are vital to the practice of chemical engineering, allowing for the solution of real-world problems. Written in a concise and practical format, this textbook introduces readers to the numerical methods required in the discipline of chemical engineering and enables them to validate their solutions using both Python and Simulink.

Introduces numerical methods, followed by the solution of linear and nonlinear algebraic equations.
Deals with the numerical integration of a definite function and solves initial and boundary value ordinary differential equations with different orders.
Weaves in examples of various numerical methods and validates solutions to each with Python and Simulink graphical programming.
Features appendices on how to use Python and Simulink.

Numerical analysts and mathematicians use a variety of tools to develop numerical methods for solving mathematical problems. The most crucial idea mentioned earlier, which includes all mathematical problems, is to change a particular problem into one that can be easily solved. Other ideas vary about the type of mathematical problem that was solved.

Python is a universal programming language that is easy and simple to learn and use in multiple fields. For example, web development, data analytics, data engineering, Data Science, Machine Learning, and Artificial Intelligence. Therefore, the wide use of Python gained popularity in all fields, and users preferred it over other programming languages. Unlike other programming languages, Python does not require a compiler (translator) that changes the program into a form the machine understands. Worldwide compatibility is essential, which makes integrating folders and utilizing a single language in different fields very beneficial.

Simulink is a graphical extension to MATLAB for the modeling and simulation of systems. The system is drawn as a block diagram. Simulink is a software package that models and simulates a dynamic system whose output changes over time. Simulink is integrated with MATLAB, and the data can be easily transferred between the programs.

Aimed at advanced undergraduate and graduate chemical engineering students, as well as practicing chemical engineers, this textbook offers a guide to the use of two of the most widely used programs in the discipline.
The textbook features numerous video lectures of applications and a solutions manual for qualifying instructors.
