COURSE TITLE: Numerical Analysis

COURSE CODE: Math2081

CREDIT HOURS: 3

PREREQUISITE: None

Aims
The course aims at introducing students in finding numerical solutions to problems for which
analytical solutions either do not exist or are not readily or cheaply obtainable. It enables
students to apply linear algebra and calculus. It also aims to helps student develop
programming skills.

Course Description
This course covers basic concepts in error estimation, solutions of non-linear equations,
solutions of system of linear equations and non-linear equations, finite differences, numerical
interpolations, numerical differentiation and numerical integration.

Course Objectives
On completion of the course, successful students will be able to:

 understand sources of errors

 identify absolute and relative errors,

 understand a range of iterative methods for solving linear and non-linear systems of
equations,

 comprehend the convergence properties of the numerical methods,

 understand the roles of finite differences,

 grasp practical knowledge of polynomial interpolation in numerical differentiation


and integration,

 appreciate the application of basic linear algebra and calculus concepts in deriving the
numerical algorithms,
