L.EGR 339 - Numerical Methods

Credits: 3

This course presents students with tools for the numerical analysis of mathematical problems for which theoretical solutions may be untenable or impossible. Students will be expected to understand advantages and disadvantages of various methods, as well as convergence behavior, accuracy, and practical use. Coding will be a significant portion of the course to take advantage of techniques for practical problems. Students are introduced to tools and techniques for numerically or approximately solving complex mathematical problems that commonly arise in physical applications. Topics include systems of linear and nonlinear algebraic equations, eigenvalue problems, interpolation and mapping, and numerical integration and differentiation.
