MAT3012-NUMERICAL ANALYSIS-BAU-FALL24/25

This course is concerned with the mathematical derivation, description, and analysis of obtaining numerical solutions to mathematical problems. Students should obtain an intuitive and working understanding of some numerical methods for basic numerical analysis problems. They should gain some appreciation of the concept of error and of the need to analyze and predict it. Topics cover linear and nonlinear systems of equations, interpolation, curve fitting using the least-squares method,
numerical differentiation and integration, discrete Fourier transformation, power method for eigenvalues and eigenvectors of a matrix, and singular value decomposition. Students should gain some experience in implementing numerical methods by using MATLAB.
