Introduction to Numerical Analysis

Catalog description

This course introduces algorithms commonly deployed for solving numerical computation problems formulated in science and engineering. Emphasis is on issues of implementation, including the accuracy, computational efficiency, and stability of each algorithm considered in the course. Topics are chosen from the numerical solution of nonlinear equations, interpolation and polynomial approximation, numerical integration and differentiation, numerical linear algebra, initial and boundary value problems for ordinary differential equations, and least squares approximations. Prerequisite(s): MS 230 and MS 241 .
