MTH 260 - Numerical Analysis

Institution:

Midland University

Subject:

Description:

3 credit hours Prerequisite: MTH 220 and CSC 160. Corequisite: MTH 250. This critical thinking "C" course introduces the student to the theory and application ofnumerical approximation methods. It requires the use of both critical thinking skills and computer technology to solve a variety of problems, including numerical integration and differentiation, nonlinear equations, systems of linear equations, and function approximation. Working individually or in groups, students complete projects which require them to 1) formulate a problem, 2) determine what information is needed to solve the problem and how that information may be attained, 3) be aware of the assumptions that need to be made to make the solution to the given problem tractable, 4) select the most appropriate of several available algorithms for the given project, and 5) use the selected algorithm to answer pertinent questions and to draw valid conclusions.
