MATH 662

Numerical Analysis

Fundamental ideas and tools of numerical analysis and computational mathematics. Analysis of floatingpoint computations, rootfinding algorithms, interpolation and least-squares approximation by polynomials, numerical integration, direct and iterative methods for linear systems of equations, and numerical solution of initial value problems for ordinary differential equations. Additional topics as time permits. Emphasis on mathematical analysis of algorithms. Experience programming computers in a high-level scientific language such as FORTRAN, C, or C++ is expected
