This document contains 13 problems related to linear algebra, numerical analysis, and complex analysis for a spring 2021 problem sheet from the Department of Mathematics at IIT Kharagpur. The problems cover topics like proving properties of logarithms and differences, linear interpolation, Newton's forward and backward interpolation formulas, estimating population growth rates, Lagrange interpolation, computing integrals using trapezoidal and Simpson's 1/3rd rules. Students are asked to find interpolating polynomials, partial fractions, integral values, track lengths, integration step sizes, and parabola areas. The goal is to solve practical problems using concepts from these mathematical fields.
