MATH 3408 - Numerical Methods

Credits: 4 Class: 4 Lab: 0
Prerequisite(s): A grade of C or better in both MATH 2307 and MATH 2401, or MATH 2412, or MATH 2422.
This computational and applied mathematics course analyzes and implements algorithms that are used in solving a variety of problems from science and engineering, including curve fitting, approximation, numerical differentiation and integration, numerical solutions of ordinary differential equations, and numerical solutions of linear systems of equations and nonlinear equations. Students are introduced to programming in a computer algebra system such as MATLAB, Maple, or Mathematica, and use it to obtain and analyze numerical solutions to such problems.
