In this (undergraduate) course we will cover approximation theory (e.g., least squares approximations, Fast Fourier Transforms), eigenvalue problems, numerical solutions of nonlinear systems of equations, boundary-value problems for ordinary differential equations, and numerical solutions to partial differential equations. To gain practical experience with the numerical methods discussed in class we will use MATLAB, a high-level language and development tool that allows you to quickly develop and analyze algorithms. |
