MAT 210 - MATHEMATICAL COMPUT & TYPESET

Institution:

Kutztown University of Pennsylvania

Subject:

Mathematics

Description:

This course is an introduction to mathematical computing and typesetting. Topics will include the syntax and programming interface of a computer algebra system that is commonly used in mathematics, methods to solve mathematical problems, and document preparation in the typesetting language LaTeX. The computer algebra system will be used to solve problems drawn from algebra, calculus, differential equations, probability, statistics, discrete mathematics, and modeling. Problems may involve root-finding, solving equations, splines, graphics, power series, numerical integration, numerical approximations of solutions of differential equations, mathematical modeling, data analysis and curve fitting, cryptography, graph theory, number theoretic computations, and possibly others depending on the interests of the students and instructor. Results from the projects will be typeset in LaTeX.
