No longer offered. It’s in Waterloo’s scanned calendars from 1969–70 to 1974–75; the 1995–96 to 2023–24 calendars are on ucalendar.
An introduction to Numerical Procedures with emphasis upon computer implementation using the FORTRAN IV programming language. In particular, the following topics are introduced: concept of numerical errors, interpolation, curve fitting, solution of non-linear equations, numerical integration, matrix operations and solution of systems of linear equations, numerical solution of ordinary differential equations. 2 hours lectures, one term. Prerequisites: 119 or 129, and 120 or 130, and 132. There is a special section for non-Mathematics students.
As printed in the 1970–71 to 1974–75 calendars, read by OCR; the scanned page is the original.
