General descriptionThe goal of this course is to introduce basic techniques for efficiently computing numerical solutions of different types of linear and non-linear problems. Topics covered include: root finding, direct and iterative methods, interpolation, integration, differentiation, and ordinary differential equations. We will learn and use MATLAB to implement numerical algorithms.Syllabus     Homework Report Format Schedule of lectures   (updated Nov. 21, 2016)
