Unit Aims
To introduce students to the basics of numerical analysis; this is broadly the study of numerical methods for solving mathematical problems.
Unit Description
This unit is intended to serve as a first course in numerical analysis. As such the fundamental areas of root finding, numerical differentiation, numerical integration and solving ordinary differential equations will be covered. The emphasis will be to explore numerical techniques for solving these problems theoretically. Computer programming is not required for this unit.
At the end of this unit, students should be able to
Transferable Skills: Computational techniques; interpretation of computational results; relation of numerical results to mathematical theory.
Lectures; weekly problem classes; theoretical and computational exercises to be done by students.
The final assessment mark will be entirely based upon a 2 ½-hour examination
