Mohammad Motamed
MATH 375, Introduction to Numerical Computing

General description

The goal of this course is to introduce basic techniques for the efficient numerical solution 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.

Text book

Numerical Analysis by Timothy Sauer, 2nd edition.
