Numerical Computation

Provides fundamental numerical algorithms including numerical solution of ordinary differential equations, linear computations, projection matrices, and finite element method. Students will write programs on these topics to understand and to use practically the algorithms. (Dept. Mechanical Eng. / Robotics, B3)
