Frequency: Spring Terms
Credit: (4-0)4
Catalog Description: Vector differential and integral calculus. Matrices. Determinants. Systems of linear equations. Characteristic values and characteristic vectors of matrices. Introduction to numerical methods.
Prerequisite: MAT 120 or consent of the Department.
Course Objectives: This course is intended to give second year engineering students a foundation in the theory and methods for numerical approximation of solutions in linear algebra and differential equations relevant to their fields. Topics include solutions of linear systems of equations via LU decomposition, least squares solutions via QR decomposition, adjacency matrices and vibration of complex spring systems as well as first order approximation of truss system stability, discretization of functions and numerical approximations to differential equations, and the discrete and fast Fourier transforms.

Exams and Grading: Course grades are determined by a midterm exams, and a final exam.
- Midterms: 2x 30 %
- Final: 30 % (non-cumulative)
- Homework: 10 %
- Bonus: 5 %
Homework: Online WeBWorK homeWork will be assigned and graded during the semester. We will also distribute (ungraded) written problem sheets for further practice.
Exams: At least 75 % of all exam problems will be taken from written problem sheets and WebWork.
Textbook: Course notes are posted on ODTU-Class
Make-up Policy: In order to be eligible to enter a make-up examination for a missed examination, a student should have a documented or verifiable, and officially acceptable excuse. A student cannot get make-up examinations for two missed exams. The make-up examination for all exams will be after the final exam, and will include all topics.
