Amis and This course provides a systematic introduction to aspects of numerical methods Introduces the foundations of numerical
Objectives computing as they apply to Computer Science, focusing on providing a solid theoretical foundation for further work.
Further, this course aims to develop a systematic introduction to aspects of numerical methods in most Computer Science
problems and structures. In this course more emphasis shall be given to statistical and probabilistic formulation with respect
to computing aspects. It provides a sound foundation in NUMERICAL Computing for students of Computer Science.
Course Outline / The concepts of efficiency, reliability and accuracy of a method; Minimising computational errors; Theory of Differences, Difference
Syllabus Operators, Difference Tables, Forward Differences, Backward Differences and Central Differences. Mathematical Preliminaries,
Solution of Equations in one variable, Interpolation and Polynomial Approximation, Numerical Differentiation and Numerical
Integration, Initial Value Problems for Ordinary Differential Equations, Direct Methods for Solving Linear Systems, Iterative
Techniques in Matrix Algebra, Solution of non-linear .
