Professor: Dr. Talitha M. Washington Contact: Office: 218 Academic Support Building B; Office hours: TR 12:30-2 pm and by appointment Phone: (202) 806-6833; E-mail: [email protected]; Web: http://talithawashington.com Class Time: 11:10 am - 12:30 pm; TR Douglass Hall, Room 240 Main Text: Brian Bradie, A Friendly Introduction to Numerical Analysis Supplementary Texts: Uri Asher and Chen Greif, A First Course in Numerical Methods Kendall Atkinson, An Introduction to Numerical Analysis Amos Gilat, MATLAB: An Introduction with Applications Michael Heath, Scientific Computing: An Introductory Survey Cleve Moler, Numerical Computing with MATLAB, http://www.mathworks.com/moler/ Alfio Quarteroni and Fausto Saleri, Scientific Computing with MATLAB and Octave LaTeX, http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/LaTeX Course Website: Blackboard, http://www.howard.edu/blackboard Course Description: Math 192/450 Topics in Applied Mathematics: Scientific Computing (3) Implementation and analysis of algorithms commonly used by scientists, engineers, and mathematicians. Topics include errors, root finding for equations and systems of equations, interpolation and polynomial approximation, differentiation, integration, and differential equations with applications in the physical, biological and engineering sciences. Programming will be done in MATLAB and technical report writing will be done in LaTeX or equivalent. MATH 192 prerequisite: MATH 159 Differential Equations, MATH 180 Into to Linear Algebra, and SYCS 135 Computer Science; MATH 169 Intro to Numerical Analysis is recommended. MATH 450 prerequisite: familiarity with linear algebra, differential equations, and programming. Nature of the Class: This is a graduate-level introduction to solving mathematical problems computationally. The course includes the development, analysis and implementation of algorithms commonly used to solve mathematical problems in science and engineering. All homework exercises will be done in MATLAB and submitted as technical reports via LaTeX or LyX. Methods of Instruction: Typical class periods will follow a traditional lecture format. You are expected to read the text, use supplementary texts, and complete all assigned work. We will have extra class sessions that focus on computer programming. Grading: The weights in determining your final grade are as follows: • Homework – 80% • Final Project – 20% Final grades will be assigned using the following percentages: A 90-100; B 80-89; C 70-79; D 60-69; F 0-59. Please see me if you have any question about how you stand before the semester ends. All grades will be posted and updated regularly on Blackboard. Course requirements and policies: a. Attendance: You are expected to attend class on time every day. However, if you miss a day, it is up to you (not me, or your classmates) to catch up and learn what you have missed. b. Homework: Assignments will be posted on the class website and will be due weekly. Assignments must be submitted by the start of class on the day that they are due. Late homework will be accepted to a point, but will be subject to a penalty.

c. Final Project: The final project will involve writing a paper and giving a presentation on a reading in scientific computing. The topic must be approved by the instructor. Guidelines for the paper and presentation will be given out at a later date. d. Computing: A mathematical typesetting software such as LaTeX (http://www.latex-project.org/) or LyX (http://www.lyx.org/) should be used to write up the homework. The student edition of MATLAB can be purchased for $50-$99 at http://www.mathworks.com/academia/student_version/. If cost is an issue, either FreeMat (http://freemat.sourceforge.net/) or Octave (https://www.gnu.org/software/octave/) can be used. e. Submitted Work: Take care in writing up your solutions for the homework assignments and exams. If critical steps in the solution of a problem are missing, expect to lose points. In general, be sure to show your work. All written solutions must be clear, concise and correct. Even if your solution is correct, expect to lose points if it is difficult to read and understand. This includes solutions that are confused, incomprehensible, unnecessarily complicated, verbose, illegible or incomplete. Correct utilization of English grammar is expected. f. Honor Code should be clear to all students and will comply with the terms of the University’s Academic Code of Student Conduct on academic cheating, plagiarism, and copy infringement. Note that collaboration on homework is allowed and encouraged, but giving or receiving help of any kind on exams is strictly prohibited. g. Accessibility: Please let me know immediately if you have a learning or physical disability requiring accommodation. For more information, contact the Dr. Barbara Williams, Dean for Special Student Services, at (202) 238-2420 or by email at [email protected].
