Numerical Methods
If you are already familiar with topics related to this course, preparing for exams is merely rotting formulas and ideas for the past questions.
I suggest you strongly go through all the past questions once.
Books to refer to:

💡 A manual by GL Book house had a lot of errors and certain topics missing which I recommend not buying, but the mistakes can be easily spotted if you’ve understood the solution.

💡 Things to focus on: If possible, write down all pseudocodes/ algorithms on a different sheet as at least 2 pseudocode/algorithms are generally asked in the past questions.

Exam pro tip:
- While on the exam, there are chances you are going to mess up calculations like misplacing -ve sign, referring to the data table of another question messing up the whole answer. Don’t do silly mistakes that make you redo the entire question. This will cost you time. otherwise, it’s easy to finish in time.
- Learn to make full use of a calculator for calculations like iterations, matrices, and statistics, in order to cross-verify your answers.
- I suggest practicing at least one set or so in order to find out how much you normally take to solve the specific questions, that way you will be confident in your pace during the exam.
