Course Description
The course is designed for the purpose of analysing the errors involved and computation time
(measured in terms of rate of convergence) when using different Numerical formulas to compute
solutions to different mathematical problems such as the problems of Numerical differentiation,
numerical integration, polynomial interpolation, locating a root to a given polynomial equation within
a given interval and that of solving linear systems of equations.
Course objectives
On successful completion of this course unit, the learners should be able to:
 Recognize and solve real world problems that may require application of numerical analysis.
 Calculate errors in different mathematical arithmetic
 Interpolate using Lagrange, finite differences and divided differences. Differentiate and
integrate using simple numerical techniques
 Solve non-linear equations using common numerical techniques
 Solve systems of linear equations using Jacobi and Gauss- Seidel
 Check convergence of iterative schemes using convergence theorems.
 Have the skill to formulate a scientific problem in a mathematical form suitable for subsequent
computational treatment and to choose an appropriate numerical approach.
Learning outcomes
By the end of this course the student should be able to:
 To discuss the basic competence in the concepts, principles, and procedures differential
equations and their applications to mathematical modelling and computation.
 To encourage orderliness, speed and accuracy in the presentation of mathematical expressions
in differential calculus.
 To help learners acquire the skills of expression in proper mathematical language and using
mathematical symbols correctly.
1
 To provide instruction that contributes to the learners’ abilities to think critically and solve real
life problems, to reason mathematically and apply computational skills.
 To build a strong foundation in mathematical presentation as preparation for subsequent courses
in applied mathematics and Computer science
 Have the skill to formulate a scientific problem in a mathematical form suitable for subsequent
computational treatment
