MATH 318T Numerical Problem Solving (Same as Computer Science 318T) (Q)
In the last twenty years computers have profoundly changed the work in numerical mathematics (in areas from linear algebra and calculus to differential equations and probability). The main goal of this tutorial is to learn how to use computers to do quantitative science. We will explore concepts and ideas in mathematics and science using numerical methods and computer programming. We will use specialized software, including Mathematica and Matlab. Computer programming skills are not required.
Format: Tutorial. Evaluation will be based on homework, classwork, and exams.
Prerequisite: Mathematics 105/106 and Mathematics 211 or permission of the instructor. Enrollment limit: 10 (expected: 10). This tutorial is a quantitative/formal reasoning course.
