Numerical Analysis ((4))

Catalog description

Topics include: computer representation of numbers and round-off errors, algorithms and stability, numerical solutions to nonlinear equations in one variable, direct and iterative methods for solving linear systems of equations, interpolation and polynomial approximation, numerical differentiation and integration, and initial value problems for ordinary differential equations. A computer algebra system (CAS) and/or numerical software may be used to program numerical algorithms and identify their limitations. Each week lecture meets for 200 minutes. MATH 3300 is cross-listed with CMPS 3300.
