Syllabus for EAS 205 Spring 2010
EAS 205. Applications of Scientific Computing.- Prerequisite(s): Prior exposure to computing via courses such as EAS 105, CIS 110, or ESE 112. Math 114, Sophomore standing. This course will discuss a number of canonical problems and show how numerical methods are used to solve them. Lectures will introduce the underlying theory and the relevant numerical methods. Students will be expected to implement solutions to the problems using MATLAB. The course will use the visualization capabilities of MATLAB to provide students with a geometric interpretation of the key ideas underlying the numerical methods.
