Exam type: midterm

This is a Midterm Examination for the Computational Methods course (ECEG-2102) at the Addis Ababa University Institute of Technology. The exam evaluates students' understanding of numerical analysis techniques and their application to engineering problems. Key Topics Covered: Number systems, floating-point representation, numerical error analysis (round-off vs. truncation), computational efficiency, bracketing methods (bisection, false-position), open methods (secant, Newton-Raphson), and linear algebra techniques (Gaussian elimination with scaling and partial pivoting). Exam Structure & Format: The exam is worth 100 points with a 3-hour duration, divided into three parts: Part I covers theoretical concepts and floating-point arithmetic; Part II focuses on root-finding algorithms; Part III involves solving systems of linear equations.
