COURSE DESCRIPTION:
EET 2980 - Numerical Methods. [1-4 semester credit hours].This 1-4 credit special topics course is designed to help you to better understand and apply the various concepts and techniques collectively known as numerical methods. This applications oriented course involves the study of computational methods for solving problems in linear algebra, nonlinear equations, approximation,
optimization and ordinary differential equations.
Prerequisite: Permission of the instructor.
COURSE OBJECTIVES:
The text selected for this course presents a commonsense approach to numerical algorithms
for the solution of algebraic, transcendental, differential and integral equations.
The course covers most of the techniques that are considered standard.
- roots of transcendental equations
- roots of polynomials
- eigenvalues of symmetric matrices
- common problems such as instabilities in extrapolation, removal of
singularities, and loss of significant figures
