MAT 470 Numerical Analysis

This is an advanced mathematics course covering selected topics in the field of applied mathematics. These topics will include Taylor series expansions and approximations, numerical integration and differentiation, solution of systems of equations, and numerical solution of ordinary and partial differential equations representing dynamics of physical systems. Solutions to the differential equations may be applied to mathematical modeling of vibrations, fluid flow, heat transfer, or other dynamical phenomena. The student will be required to write several computer programs for this course. Prerequisite: MAT 272 with a grade of 2.0 or higher, knowledge of C++ or Visual Basic.
