ABSTRACT
This chapter discusses the basic methods for numerically finding the value of the limit of an indeterminate form, the value of a derivative, the value of a convergent infinite sum, and the value of a definite integral. Using an improved form of the differentiator, we also present first-order iterator techniques for solving ordinary first-order and second-order linear differential equations. The Runge-Kutta technique for solving ordinary differential equations (ODE) is briefly discussed. The mode of use of some of the MATLAB packages to perform each of the previous tasks is also described in each instance of interest.
