| Math 701 Numerical Analysis |
Instructor: Jeff Mortensen |
| MW 4:00 - 05:15 PM | jm@unr.edu |
| Location:
ABB 638 |
Prerequisites: Contact Instructor |
Prerequisites: Familiarity with a
programming language is advised. Previous instruction in Numerical
Analysis is not assumed. Please contact the instructor for further
information.
Math701 is the first
course in
a year long sequence dedicated to studying Numerical Analysis at the
graduate
level. In this sequence we consider a variety of techniques that solve
various
problems appearing in applications. We plan to analyze the various
methods for
the solution of the three main classes of problems that represent the
subject of
numerical analysis:
Linear Systems
Approximation
Differential Equations
The grade in the
course will be
based on in class examination, homework assignments/projects and
presentations.
The assignments will include both
theoretical and computational problems.
The main computing languages will be MATLAB
and Maple.
