MATH 5290 - Numerical Methods

3 hours

Non-theoretical development of various numerical methods for use with a computer to solve equations, solve linear and non-linear systems of equations, find eigenvalues and eigenvectors, approximate functions, approximate derivatives and definite integrals, solve differential equations and solve other such problems of a mathematical nature. Errors due to instability of method and those due to the finite-precision computer will be studied.

Prerequisite(s): A programming language and consent of department.
