Descrizione
Numerical computing is an interconnected combination of computer science and mathematics in which we develop and analyze algorithms for solving important problems in science, engineering, medicine, and business -for example, simulating an earthquake , choosing a stock portfolio, or detecting cancer tumors in medical images. The students will learn principles and practices of basic numerical computation. This is a key aspect of scientific computation. This class will cover several topics, including: numerical solution of linear systems, data fitting, least squares and one dimensional non-linear equations. As much as possible, numerical methods will be presented in the context of real-world applications.
