A study of algorithms useful in obtaining numerical solutions of problems on a digital computer.
Coursed material is presented via lecture and class discussion.
This course emphasizes problem solving through the use of techniques and software appropriate for scientific computing. Some instructors may require students to work together in small groups. In all sections students will be asked to work problems assigned as homework. Some of the assignments will require students to use the computer. The student is expected to develop an ability to attack and successfully solve scientific computing problems.
