CAAM 353: COMPUTATIONAL NUMERIC ANALYSIS
The University of Manchester
MATH20602: Numerical Analysis 1
Numerical analysis is concerned with finding numerical solutions to problems for which analytical solutions either do not exist or are not readily or cheaply obtainable. This course provides an introduction to the subject, focusing on the three core topics of iteration, interpolation and quadrature.
The module starts with 'interpolation schemes', methods for approximating functions by polynomials, and 'quadrature schemes', numerical methods for approximating integrals, will then be explored in turn. The second half of the module looks at solving systems of linear and nonlinear equations via iterative techniques. In the case of linear systems, examples will be drawn from the numerical solution of differential equations.
Students will learn about practical and theoretical aspects of all the algorithms. Insight into the algorithms will be given through MATLAB illustrations, but the course does not require any programming.

CAAM 3XX: DEPT APPROVED TRANSFER CREDIT
University of Edinburgh
MATH08068: Facets of Mathematics
This course aims to explore the wide range of applications of mathematics, and links to other areas that are present in today's world. This course is centred around three components in different areas of mathematics. The content of the components is not fixed, but there will normally be one each in Pure mathematics, Mathematical Modelling and Operational Research. In each component, some basic techniques from the chosen area will be studied and there will also be some exploration of their applications in the modern world. Applications of the area in general and its relationship to other topics will also be discussed. Another aim of the course is to develop important skills in teamwork and in presenting mathematics. Some instruction in producing mathematical documents, particularly posters, in LaTeX will be given and students will undertake a group research project that builds on the content of one of the components. The outcome of the project will be a poster.
