This course introduces the basic concepts of numerical analysis that are employed in science and engineering. It includes a solid introduction to the basic methods and approximation techniques in use, and to the reliability and accuracy of the approximations. Applications of the methods to simplified/model problems that represent real-life problems are also included. Programming skills (based on MATLAB/OCTAVE) needed to implement the methods on a computer are also covered.
Prerequisites
MAT 212, CSC 112 or equivalent
