一、課程說明(Course Description)



Mathematics is one of the most important subjects in applied sciences. Though most of us have had

extensive training in Mathematics, solving mathematical problems to get numerical answers are not

immediately obvious to most of the students. In this course, how to use computers to solve mathematical

problems to finding approximated numerical solutions will be introduced. This capability should help

students in future researches or even industrial career to solve real life problems. Theories in Numerical

Analysis will be introduced with extensive hand-on programming homework.
