Numerical Techniques introduces and studies fundamental operations and methods that are the tools of mathematicians, statisticians and applied scientists. The course introduces the numerical methods necessary for the determination of the errors in computation, the manipulation of large data, numerical linear algebra, solution of linear and nonlinear equations, systems of ordinary differential equations, the evaluation of definite integrals by numerical quadrature and the approximation of functions and data. The foundation is laid for the more specialist mathematics courses that are undertaken in subsequent years. This course provides the basic computational skills required for all courses in mathematics, computer science, applied sciences and engineering.
