MATH 413 - Introduction to Numerical Analysis I

Fall (3) Prerequisite(s): MATH 211 and (MATH 212 or MATH 213) and CSCI 141 and MATH 214.

A discussion of the mathematical theory underlying selected numerical methods and the application of those methods to problems of practical importance. Computer programs are used to facilitate calculations and illustrate analytical results. The topics covered are: linear systems of equations, sensitivity analysis, least-squares problems, the singular value decomposition, and eigenvalue problems. Students planning to take 414 are encouraged to take 413 first.
