Numerical Methods

(4 Credits)

The course explores how mathematical problems can be analyzed and solved using numerical methods. As such, the subject has very broad applications in applied mathematics, physics, engineering, finance, and life sciences. Topics covered in this course include numerical algorithms for solving linear equations and nonlinear systems of equations, least squares problems, eigenvalue problems, interpolation, numerical quadrature, optimization, and differential equations. Theory and practical examples are combined to study these topics.
