Floating point computations, direct methods for linear systems, interpolation, solution of nonlinear equations.
Why did I take this class??
Required for math majors and counts for upper-level CS course. The alternative is AMSC460 which is supposed to be more computational.
I think it's better to take the more theoretical one, because it trains your brain more.
Summary
This class was very straightforward with Professor Margetis.
It felt like half the class was about interpolation (and error).
