Syllabus: Course Title Faculty/Institute

This syllabus is for a Numerical Methods course taught during the second year, first semester. The course is taught by Prof. Zbigniew Suraj and aims to teach important algorithms for numerically solving applied mathematics problems. Students will use Java or C/C++ programming languages and Matlab software. Over the course, students will learn topics like number representation, polynomials, locating roots, interpolation, differentiation, integration, and systems of linear equations. Assessment is based on projects, homeworks, computer programs, and miscellaneous points. The course requires 75 hours of student work including 30 hours of labs and 10 hours of consultations.
