MA8491 Syllabus Numerical Methods

This document outlines the objectives and units of study for a numerical methods course. The objectives are to introduce concepts of solving algebraic and transcendental equations, numerical techniques of interpolation and differentiation/integration, and techniques for solving ordinary and partial differential equations. The 5 units cover: solving equations and eigenvalue problems; interpolation and approximation; numerical differentiation and integration; solving initial value problems for ODEs; and boundary value problems for ODEs and PDEs. The expected outcomes are for students to understand basic concepts and techniques for solving equations, appreciate numerical techniques for interpolation and error, apply differentiation/integration techniques, and solve differential equations with initial and boundary conditions.
