Department: *Computational & Applied Math*

Grade Mode: Standard Letter

Course Type: Lecture

Distribution Group: Distribution Group III

Credit Hours: 3

Prerequisite(s): MATH 101

Description: Modeling, Simulation, and Visualization via MATLAB. Numerical methods: Newton's method in one and several dimensions. Gaussian elimination and optimization. Application to gene nets, fiber nets, and neural nets. Lab is on Fridays from 1-4pm, but students are not expected to attend the entire lab section and are free to come and go. A good rule of thumb is to plan to be in lab for about one hour per week (anytime between 1 and 4pm).
