CS 4210
Numerical Analysis and Differential Equations

Course information provided by the 2025-2026 Catalog.

Introduction to the fundamentals of numerical analysis: error analysis, approximation, interpolation, and numerical integration. In the second half of the course, we use these to build approximate solvers for ordinary and partial differential equations. Strong emphasis is placed on understanding the advantages, disadvantages, and limits of applicability for all the covered techniques. Computer programming is used to test the theoretical concepts throughout the course. Students will be expected to be comfortable writing proofs and have knowledge of programming. MATH 4250/CS 4210 and MATH 4260/CS 4220 can be taken independently from each other and in either order. Together they provide a comprehensive introduction to numerical analysis.


Prerequisites REF-FA25 MATH 2210, MATH 2230-MATH 2240, MATH 2310, or MATH 2940 or equivalent and one additional mathematics course numbered 3000 or above.
