MATH 3535 — Numerical Methods with Applications to Differential Equations
4 semester hoursUndergraduateLectureusually offered: springtypical days: M/W/ThBostonTraditional
Covers numerical methods to solve ordinary differential equations that are otherwise not solvable using exact methods and that are useful in a variety of applications drawn from classical areas of science and engineering. Studies examples classified as initial and boundary value problems from fluid mechanics and heat transfer. The topics are of fundamental importance in many branches of applied mathematics, physical sciences, and engineering. Possible topics also include the finite element method, which is very useful in structural analysis involving complex geometry.
