This course offers selected topics in numerical computations with an emphasis on computer arithmetic, analysis of roundoff errors, propagation of errors, and environmental paremeters. Students explore computational metholology as applied to solving problems in Numerical Linear Algebra (Direct and Iterative Methods), non-linear equations and non-linear systems of systems of equations. Students are also introduced to the use of numerical software libraries and the design of numerical software packages. Prerequisite: C or better in COMP 2230 or COMP 2231
