No longer offered. It’s in Waterloo’s scanned calendars from 1981–82 to 1994–95; the 1995–96 to 2023–24 calendars are on ucalendar.
Application of the theory of finite differences to the development of tunction approximations primarily by collocation and osculatory polynomials. Analysis of error in such approximations. Summation formulae. Introduction to data graduation.
As printed in the 1982–83 to 1994–95 calendars, read by OCR; the scanned page is the original. Later calendars (1995–96 on) aren’t on uwloo.
