MATH3414Introduction to Numerical Methods (O)3 ch (3C)

Error analysis convergence and stability. Approximation of functions by polynomials. Numerical quadrature and differentiation. The solution of linear and nonlinear equations and the solution of ordinary differential equations. This course will emphasize the understanding of numerical algorithms and stress applications in the applied sciences, as well as the influence of finite precision and arithmetic on computational results. Credit will be granted for only one of CE 2913, CS 3113, ECE 2412, MATH 3413 and MATH 3414. 

Prerequisites: One of (CS 1003, CS 1063CS 1073 or CMPE 1003; and MATH 1013; and either MATH 2213 or MATH 1503 each with a minimum grade of C.
