Numerical Linear Algebra and Analysis

Catalog description

Numerical techniques for solving problems in linear algebra and analysis. Topics to be studied include integration, interpolation, function approximation, solutions of systems of equations, locating Eigen values. Attention will be paid to the theoretical aspects of the techniques, with particular emphasis on estimation of errors and on convergence properties of iterative techniques. 3 Lecture hours. Prerequisites: MA 241, MA 224. Offered: Spring, and every third year.
