Numerical Methods
Prerequisites: (COMP 170 or COMP 215) and [(MATH 212 and MATH 264) or MATH 266].
An introduction to numerical techniques for solving mathematical problems where exact solutions are impractical or computationally intensive. Topics include numerical errors, root finding, interpolation and approximation, solutions to systems of linear equations, numerical differentiation and integration, numerical solutions to ordinary and partial differential equations equations, and other selected topics.
Outcomes: Students will obtain an understanding of how numerical methods can be used in a variety of areas of mathematics.
