Description: This course introduces fundamental concepts of errors and basic numerical
algorithms used to obtain approximate solutions with prescribed accuracy, commonly
applied to engineering problems. Topics include: approximate numbers and errors; nonlinear
equations; linear systems of algebraic equations; interpolation and least-squares; numerical
differentiation and integration; and numerical solutions of ordinary differential
equations (ODEs).
