Course description

Many modern applications of mathematics are carried out on personal computers or super-computers. This course will introduce students to the theory and advanced applications of scientific computing using Matlab. The first section of the course will focus on Taylor series, Newton method, methods of steepest descent, and solution of ordinary differential equations. In the second half, boundary value problems, finite-difference, interpolation and integration will be introduced.
