About this exam

This is a 2015 midterm exam paper for computational-methods at aau (electrical-computer-engineering). This is a Test 1 examination for the Computational Methods course (ECEG-2112) at the Addis Ababa Institute of Technology. The exam evaluates fundamental concepts in numerical analysis and error estimation. **Key Topics Covered:** Numerical error analysis (relative vs. absolute, approximation vs. roundoff), algorithm stability, convergence rates, Taylor series expansions, and root-finding algorithms (specifically the bisection method). **Exam Structure & Format:** The exam consists of three main problems covering theoretical explanations and practical numerical calculations, with a total allotted time of 1 hour and 20 minutes.
