MATH 405 - Numerical Methods

3 credits.
An introduction to modern numerical approximation techniques. Material will include select methods for solving equations in one variable, for interpolation and polynomial approximation, for numerical differentiation and integration, and for solving linear systems. Additional topics may include approximation theory, numerical solutions of initial-value and boundary-value problems for differential equations, approximating eigenvalues, and numerical solutions of nonlinear systems of equations.

Prerequisite(s): MATH 280, 361 and CMSC 160.
Corequisite(s): None.
