Mathematics in a Computational Context provides an integrated treatment of linear algebra, differential equations, and multivariable calculus. Students learn to distinguish between problems that can be solved “by hand” and those requiring approximation to specified accuracy. Students learn analytical methods as well as algorithms and their efficient implementation on a computer. This course provides an introduction to the mathematics and computation commonly encountered in today’s scientific and engineering workplaces.
The course is designated as an honors section, though it is not restricted to honors students.
