NUMERICAL METHODS WITH PROGRAMMING

Catalog description

Three hours of lecture per week. This course targets students who have working knowledge in one or more programming languages such as C, C++, and Java, or computational tools such as MATLAB. This course introduces algorithm development to solve mathematical problems such as root finding, interpolation and approximation, integration, solution to initial value problems (IVP) arising from first- and second-order ordinary differential equations (ODE), and direct and iterative methods for solving syst ems of linear equations. In this course students will learn how to select the appropriate methods and evaluate the reasonableness of numerical results using sound judgment and computer tools.
