MAT210 Lesson 16: Newton’s Divided Difference
An alternative way to find a polynomial approximation of a function is something of a mix of using the Taylor Series and numerical differentiation. Newton's Divided Difference method results in…
MAT210 Lesson 15: Direct Interpolation
In Numerical Analysis, our interest is not just interpolation of values, but interpolation of functions. Interpolation of functions means approximating a complex or unknown function with a simpler function, which…
MAT210 Tutorial #1: Errors, Differentiation & Roots
To wrap up the first three modules: Errors (Kaw ), Numerical Differentiation (Kaw Ch. 2), and Root Finding (Kaw Ch. 03), work on the tutorial found at this link on…
MAT210 Workshop 20th-21st May
We saw that a spreadsheet is a reasonably easy way to perform numerical differentiation. In our last workshop, we created - almost from scratch - a spreadsheet to compare the…
MAT210 Workshop 13th-14th May
A spreadsheet is a reasonably easy way to perform various numerical methods, especially differentiation. In our workshop, we will create - almost from scratch - a spreadsheet to compare the…
