Numerical Analysis

Course Code C0161 Th 4 Pr 4 CrHrs 3

The course will develop numerical methods aided by technology to solve algebraic, transcendental, and differential equations, and to calculate derivatives and integrals. The course will also develop an understanding of the elements of error analysis for numerical methods and certain proofs. The course will further develop problem solving skills.

The purpose of this course is to present basic calculus concepts and show you how to deal with problems. In this way the development of the calculus comes about as a means of solving problems by using MATLAB laboratory
