MT 450 - Numerical Analysis

Institution:

Cardinal Stritch University - Closed

Subject:

Description:

Numerical analysis, particularly applied numerical analysis is concerned with obtaining numerical solutions to problems which do not lend themselves to solution by ordinary mathematical analysis. Since calculators and digital computers do not really use real numbers, numerical problems are compounded when such tools are used to do the number crunching. Often, the only way to get an idea of the solution is to approximate the problem in such a way that numbers representing the solution can be produced. The purpose of this course is to introduce the student to some modern numerical methods, to improve the student's skills in using the computer as a tool to solve numerical problems, to increase the student's awareness of problems inherent in obtaining numerical solutions, and to make the student a more discerning consumer of numerical solutions and software which claims to produce numerical solutions. Prerequisite: The student should have completed three semesters of calculus and have a working knowledge of a higher-level programming language (such as Basic, Pascal, or C). A student who has a grade of A in MT 210 and MT 211 may seek approval of the instructor.
