This introductory course presents students with the concepts in scientific computing such as solving nonlinear equations, solving linear systems, interpolating data and approximating integrals using vectors, matrices, eigenvalues, eigenvectors, and factorizations. Emphasis is given to how these are used in real world
practical applications in industrial development such as computer graphics, machine learning and pattern recognition. Practical examples with various software packages and scripting languages will be used to supplement the theoretical concepts.
