Numerical Computation

Provides fundamental numerical algorithms including linear computations, Fourier transform, ordinary differential equations, finite element method, random numbers, digital filtering, and digital image processing. Students will write programs on these topics to understand and to use practically the algorithms. (Dept. Mechanical Eng. / Robotics, B3)
