Numerical Computing

Introduction

Numerical computing is an approach for solving complex mathematical problems using only simple arithmetic operations. The approach involves formulation of mathematical models physical situations that can be solved with arithmetic operations. It requires development, analysis and use of algorithms.

COURSE LEARNING OUTCOMES

At the end of the course, students will be able to:

Describe errors that can arise because computers usually use finite precision
Grasp the numerical techniques and should be able to use a variety of methods in solving real-life, practical, technical, and theoretical problems which cannot be solved by other methods
Apply the Bisection, Newton and Iteration methods to solve a non-linear equation
Apply the different method to solve linear Equations
Construct Lagrange and Newton forward difference interpolation polynomials for a given set of data
Apply Trapezoidal and Simpson’s rules to find the approximate value of an integral
Demonstrate programming proficiency using structured programming techniques to implement numerical methods for solutions.
