B. Course Objectives and Learning Outcomes

1. Course Description
This course introduces the fundamental concepts of numerical methods and the relationship between numerical
analysis and other branches of science. The course includes the classifications of numerical errors, numerical
methods for solving nonlinear equations and linear system of equations, finite differences and interpolation,
numerical differentiation, numerical integration, and numerical solution of ordinary differential equations.

2. Course Main Objective
1- Developing and implementing numerically stable and accurate algorithms for all the
basic tasks of computational science and engineering:
2- Finding acceptable approximate solutions when exact solutions are either impossible
or so arduous and time-consuming as to be impractical.
