Course Description |
| This
is an introduction to the tools available for solving numerically
intensive applications that occur in scientific and engineering
fields. The study of numerical algorithms will be supported
by the use of a computer algebra system. Network utilities
will enable students to use the Internet for communication
and learning purposes.
