Course Objectives

Objectives:

With the current deployment of computer technology and tools, it is very important to develop efficient algorithms for solving problems in science, engineering, technology, insurance & banking. Thus, the objective of this course is to enable students to obtain an intuitive and working understanding of numerical methods for the basic problems of numerical analysis and gain experience in the implementation of numerical methods using a computer. They would also gain an appreciation of the concept of error in these methods and the need to analyze and predict it.

Prerequisites:

Basic knowledge of functions, logarithmic, trigonometric and exponential functions, graph of a function, polynomials, and roots of a polynomial, differentiation and integration.
