No longer offered. It’s in Waterloo’s scanned calendars from 1972–73 to 1973–74 (before that, 1970–71 to 1971–72 used the number for Electronic Computers and Numerical Analysis); the 1995–96 to 2023–24 calendars are on ucalendar.
Fundamentals of numerical methods, solution of non-linear equations, polynomial and zeros of polynomials, matrix methods and systems of linear algebraic equations, interpolation, estimation of parameters by least squares, numerical integration, solution of ordinary differential equations. Prerequisites: GE121, Math 25, or equivalent. 2 hours lectures, 2 hours tutorial, one term.
As printed in the 1972–73 to 1973–74 calendars, read by OCR; the scanned page is the original.
