Mathematics 301 - Numerical Analysis Lab

Institution:

Bard College

Subject:

Description:

Computer Science This lab is an introduction to mathematical computation. It starts with tutorials on the software package Mathematica and its open-source alternative, SAGE. The course then discusses algorithms for finding the zeros of nonlinear functions, solving linear systems quickly, and approximating eigenvalues. The bulk of the course is devoted to curve fitting by means of polynomial interpolation, splines, Bézier curves, and least squares. Prerequisites: Mathematics 242 and any computer science course or basic programming experience.
