MATH348: Numerical Methods

Published course information, generated as a static page and SVG graph.

Course Graph

Prerequisite flow into the course, and dependencies flow out from it.

Co-requisites are treated as prerequisite links, and equivalent or cross-listed courses are merged into shared course nodes. The simplified view shows one prerequisite level above the course and one dependency level downstream.

Description

Catalog description

Error analysis (round off and truncation errors), roots of equations (bisection, Newton, secant), systems of linear equations (Gauss elimination and LU factorization), function approximation (interpolation, least squares, orthogonal polynomials), numerical differentiation, numerical integration (Newton-Cotes, Gauss), numerical solution of ordinary differential equations (Euler, Taylor, Runge-Kutta, Adams), and a selection of additional topics, such as numerical optimization, finite difference methods for linear partial differential equations, iterative methods for linear systems.
