Text: Numerical Methods, by Fairs and Burden, 2^nd Edition

 

Catalog Description: Finite differences, interpolation, numerical integration, and differentiation, solutions of equations of one variable, linear systems, and numerical solution of ordinary differential equations. Prerequisites: MTH 2227, MTH 3331 and a programming language class or permission of instructor.

 

Course Objectives: Upon completion of the course, the student should have an understanding of:

1.        Solving Equations of One Variable

2.        Interpolation of Polynomials

3.        Numerical Differentiation and Integration

4.        Numerical Solutions of Ordinary Differential Equations

5.        Numerical Methods for Solving Linear Systems

 

Course Requirements: 

1.       The student is expected to attend each class session and to participate in class discussion.

2.       The student is expected to complete all homework assignments punctually.

3.       The student is expected to participate in chalkboard work when called upon.

 

Tests and Grades: Three or four tests containing in class and take-home parts will be given and count toward the 75% of a final grade. A final exam will constitute approximately 25% of the final grade and will be administered on May 1, 8:00-10:00.  Students missing a scheduled test will have a zero (0) score recorded.
