to do their own self-study either through guided
questions in notes and tutorial.
12 Synopsis This course is designed to provide students with a background in modern numerical
methods. The topics covered are numerical linear algebra, numerical solution of
ordinary and partial different equations, numerical methods for solving systems of non-
linear equations and the introduction to optimization. Numerical computation software
such as MATLAB and SCILAB will be introduced in solving numerical problems.
