Numerical Analysis
ABOUT THE COURSE
This course on NUMERICAL ANALYSIS
introduces the theory and application of
numerical methods or techniques to
approximate mathematical procedures(
such as reconstruction of a function,
evaluation of an integral) or solutions of
problems that arise in science and
engineering. Such approximations are
needed because the analytical methods are
either intractable or the problem under
consideration can not be solved analytically.
Explanations for why and how these
approximation techniques work are provided
with emphasis on accuracy and efficiency of
the developed methods. The course also
provides a firm foundation for further study
on Numerical Analysis

CERTIFICATION EXAM :
CERTIFICATE:
Final score will be calculated as : 25% assignment score + 75% final exam score
25% assignment score is calculated as 25% of average of best 8 out of 12 assignments.
E-Certificate will be given to those who register and write the exam and score greater
than or equal to 40% final score. Certificate will have your name, photograph and the
score in the final exam with the breakup. It will have the logos of NPTEL and IIT
MADRAS . It will be e-verifiable at nptel.ac.in/noc.
