This course will study numerical techniques for a variety of problems, such as finding roots of polynomials, interpolation, numerical integration, numerical solutions of differential equations, and matrix computations. We will study the underlying theory behind the algorithms, including error analysis, and the algorithms will be implemented using mathematical software to facilitate numerical experimentation.

This course is expected to include both synchronous and asynchronous class sessions and activities, and opportunities for peer engagement.

Requisite: MATH 211 and either 271 or 272, or consent of the instructor. Limited to 24 students. Spring semester. Professor Yacoubou Djima.

Permission is required for interchange registration during all registration periods.
