Prerequisites: MATH 240 and MATH 241 and CMSC 105 or CMSC 106 or CMSC 114 or ENEE 114 or permission of instructor.
Course Description: Basic computational methods for interpolation, least squares, approximation, numerical quadrature, numerical solution of polynomial and transcendental equations, systems of linear equations and initial value problems for ordinary differential equations. Emphasis on methods and their computational properties rather than their analytic aspects. Intended primarily for students in the physical and engineering sciences.
