Leader: Ann Nicholson

Offered:
Not offered in 2006.

Synopsis: This unit is intended to teach students about the design of numerical algorithms and the effect that computer arithmetic has on both the design of numerical algorithms and on numerical software. Students are introduced to main paradigms for creating numerical computing algorithms, namely the paradigm of local approximation and the paradigm of matrix transformations.
