Course Prerequisite

    Calculus in one variable and fundamentals of Linear Algebra.

Course Description

    Numerical analysis forms the foundation of scientific and engineering
computing. In this course, we will study some fundamental algorithms on
  1. solutions of equations in one variable;
  2. polynomial interpolation and approximation;
  3. numerical differentiation and integration;
  4. numerical methods for linear systems;
  5. numerical solutions of ODEs.
Some advanced topics on numerical solutions of PDEs will be touched on
in Numerical Aanalysis II. MATLAB and C++ will be used for programming.

Grading Scheme

    Final grade will be determined by your performance in Homework and
Projects (20%), Midterm Exam (30%) and Final Exam (50%).
