MATH 3500 - Numerical Methods

Institution:

Hawaii Pacific University

Subject:

Description:

The purpose of numerical analysis is two-fold: (1 credit) to find acceptable approximate solutions when exact solutions are either impossible or impractical, and (2 credits) to devise alternate methods of solution better suited to the capabilities of computers. Topics for this course include: elements of error analysis, real roots of an equation, polynomial approximation by finite difference and least square methods, interpolation, quadrature, numerical solution of ordinary differential equations, and numerical solutions of systems of linear equations. Students should expect to program a computer and use a graphing calculator. Pre: MATH 3305, MATH 3307 (can be taken concurrently), and CSCI 2911.
