Credits:
4
Prerequisites:
Students learn how to find numerical solutions to problems which are difficult or impossible to solve analytically. They will learn numerical methods for solving non-linear equations in one variable, systems of linear equations, numerical differentiation and integration, numerical solutions of ordinary differential equations, interpolation and curve fitting. Students will learn the algorithms, and use software (MATLAB) to solve applied problems. In addition, students will learn fundamental concepts from error analysis of numerical solutions.
