course includes: solving for the roots of algebraic and transcendental
equations, solution of simultaneous linear equations,
least-squares curve fits to data, interpolation, numerical integration,
numerical differentiation, and numerical solution of linear
and nonlinear ordinary differential equations for both initial and
boundary value problems.
