Numerical analysis is of course one of the most important areas of applied mathematics.
Please register for this early if you plan to take it, since if enrollment is insufficient if may be dropped from the schedule. Many of the students in the class are graduate students in computer science, but don't let that scare you off. The course tends to be offered every Fall and Winter.
