A First Course In Numerical Methods Solution 125

in this course, students will learn how to use matlab/octave to solve interesting and challenging mathematical and scientific problems. emphasis will be on the creation of user-friendly programs and on practice at solving realistic problems. prerequisite: math 224 or consent of instructor.

this course introduces basic concepts and methods in numerical analysis, including: methods of interpolation, splines, and the basics of linear and nonlinear programming. applications are addressed through the use of a single and multivariable, parametric, and nonparametric models. students will begin to use matlab/octave to solve a range of problems, including multivariable interpolation, splines, local and global optimization, and constrained optimization. prerequisite: math 224 or consent of instructor.

this course is offered to students who have completed statistics 224 and have taken mathematical methods for complex stochastic problems(mmcs) 125. it will emphasize the use of probability and stochastic calculus for solving mathematical problems. topics covered will include: introduction to probability and stochastic calculus, random variables, expectation, variance, point and interval estimation, the central limit theorem, and probability distributions. the use of regression models will be illustrated with examples. prerequisite: statistics 224 and mmcs 125 or consent of instructor.

this course is for students who have completed mathematics 224 and have taken data analysis 227. topics include: programming, the use of randomness, and the analysis of data sets. using data sets from the u.s. census bureau, students will learn how to read and understand census data and will learn how to use data from the census bureau to draw conclusions. prerequisite: statistics 227 and data analysis 227 or consent of instructor.

an introduction to the basic theory and practical applications of numerical linear algebra. topics include elementary methods for solving linear systems, such as gaussian elimination, lu decomposition, and qr decomposition. several algorithms for solving large scale eigenvalue problems. prerequisite: math111 or equivalent.
basic introduction to numerical methods for nonlinear optimization problems. topics include the newton and/or secant methods for the solution of nonlinear equations. prerequisite: math111 or equivalent.
basic exploratory data analysis for univariate response with single or multiple covariates. graphical methods and data summarization, model-fitting using s-plus computing language. linear and multiple regression. emphasis on model selection criteria, on diagnostics to assess goodness of fit and interpretation. techniques include transformation, smoothing, median polish, robust/resistant methods. case studies and analysis of individual data sets. notes of caution and some methods for handling bad data. knowledge of regression is helpful. offered as stat 325 and stat 425. prereq: stat 207 or stat 243 or stat 312 or pqhs 431 or pqhs 441 or pqhs 458.
this course is intended for upper undergraduate students in mathematics, cognitive science, biomedical engineering, biology or neuroscience who have an interest in quantitative investigation of the brain and its functions. students will be introduced to a variety of mathematical techniques needed to model and simulate different brain functions, and to analyze the results of the simulations and of available measured data. the mathematical exposition will be followed when appropriate by the corresponding implementation in matlab. the course will cover some basic topics in the mathematical aspects of differential equations, electromagnetism, inverse problems and imaging related to brain functions. validation and falsification of the mathematical models in the light of available experimental data will be addressed. this course will be a first step towards organizing the different brain investigative modalities within a unified mathematical framework. a final presentation and written report are part of the course requirements. prereq: math 224 or math 228.
