MATH 212 - Approximation Methods I

CPSC 212 (4 credits)
Approximation Methods is a branch of mathematics that uses algorithms to obtain approximations of solutions of problems that one encounters in various scientific disciplines, when reaching an exact solution is either impossible or impractical. Examples of such problems are solving non-linear equations, polynomial interpolation, least squares approximation, numerical differentiation and integration, solving systems of linear equations. This course will require programming. Three lecture-recitation periods and one two-hour laboratory. CPSC 121  , MATH 122  As needed.
