Introduction to Numerical Analysis

At the end of the course, students should be able to: 1. solve some numerical solutions of algebraic and transcendental equations; 2. describe curve fitting; 3. discuss error analysis; 4. calculate interpolation and approximation; 5. solve some numerical differentiation and numerical integration problems; and 6. solve some numerical problems in ordinary differential equations with initial value problems.

Solution of algebraic and transcendental equations. Curve fitting. Error analysis. Interpolation and approximation. Zeros of non- linear equations ‘in one variable’. Systems of linear equations. Numerical differentiation and integration. Initial value problems in ordinary differential equations.
