APMA E4300 - Introduction to numerical methods

Institution:

Columbia University in the City of New York

Subject:

Description:

Prerequisites: MATH V1201, MATH E1210, and APMA E3101 or their equivalents. Some programming experience and Matlab will be extremely useful. Introduction to fundamental algorithms and analysis of numerical methods commonly used by scientists, mathematicians and engineers. This course is designed to give a fundamental understanding of the building blocks of scientific computing that will be used in more advanced courses in scientific computing and numerical methods for PDE?s. Topics include numerical solutions of algebraic systems, linear least-squares, eigenvalue problems, solution of non-linear systems, optimization, interpolation, numerical integration and differentiation, initial value problems and boundary value problems for systems of ODE?s. All programming exercises will be in Matlab.
