Abstract
An introduction to numerical solution methods is given in this chapter. The advantages and disadvantages of numerical methods are discussed, and the possibilities and limitations of the computational approach are outlined. This is followed by a description of the components of a numerical solution method and their properties. Finally, a brief description of basic computational methods (finite difference, finite volume and finite element) is given.
