Teaching
Activities
Most of my efforts in the past several years have been to develop
computational mathematics courses
for undergraduates.
MA 132 is
a single credit course, which uses spreadsheets for calculus students in the
life and management sciences.
The second year course MA 325 has been approved in the spring of 2002.
MA 302 is
a single credit course, which uses MATLAB and its ODE suite for calculus
students in the physical sciences and engineering.
MA 402 studies numerical models for partial
differential equations and has a variety of applications.
MA 580 is
the basic numerical analysis course, which is a prerequisite for many of our
graduate numerical analysis courses.
"MA 2yy" is a single credit basic matrix algebra course, which
uses MATLAB and is under development.
MA/CSC 583 was taught for the first time in spring 2003 and could be viewed as a parallel computing extension of MA 402.
The book "Computational Mathematics: Models, Methods and Analysis with MATLAB and MPI" was published in September 2003 by CRC Press.
This textbook is related to the
material in MA 402 and MA/CSC 583.
