CSCI 2072U – Computational Science I


This course provides an overview of basic numerical algorithms used for solving problems in applied sciences. Topics include: solving linear and nonlinear systems of equations, interpolation and data-fitting and numerical integration and differentiation. Additional topics like optimization and the solution of ordinary differential equations may be treated. The focus will be both on implementation and testing and on analysis in terms of accuracy, stability and efficiency. Students will use Python and several of its modules for scientific computing and visualization.
