Topics include floating point arithmetic, numerical solutions of equations and systems, eigenvalues for eigenvectors, polynomial and spline interpolation and approximation, and curve fitting. Each numerical method discussed in class is demonstrated through the use of MATLAB, which is user friendly and presents advantages such as: powerful matrix structure, versatile two- and three-dimensional graphing facilities, and a vast number of built-in functions.
