Eric Olson  001 Math 467 Numerical Methods II    MWF 11:00-11:50pm AB634

The development of computers in the late 1940's and their great advances in power over the last fifty years has lead to a revolution in the field of numerical analysis. The goal of this course sequence is to provide the student with the numerical tools and methodology necessary to treat their own problems. The student will learn how to use standard numerical software such as MATLAB, Octave and Maple as part of this course. No prior programming experience is needed. Familiarity with a traditional programming language such as C or FORTRAN may be helpful.

Note that Math/CS 466/666 Numerical Methods I is not a prerequisite for this course.
