COMPUTATIONAL METHODS 

The Mathematics Department has approved the introduction of 

MATH 

216-3, 

Introduction to ComputationalMethods (3-1-0). This represents a revision of 

MATH 104-3, Elementary Computational Methods (2-0-2), which is to be dropped 

upon introducing the new course. 

The Department of Computing Science has agreed that MATH 216-3 wi].l be 

listed as a lower division requirement for students who plan to undertake a 

major or honors in Computing Science (see page 298 of 79-80 edition of SFU 

calendar.) 

Also, the Mathematics Department has approved a vector change for 

MATH 416-3, Numerical Analysis II. 

These two proposals may now be taken before your committee for its 

approval.

Title of Course: INTRODUCTION fl9 COMPUTATIONAL METHODS 

Calendar Description of Course: 

An introduction to some of the main areas of numerical computation such 

as nonlinear equations, systems of linear equations, curve fitting, 

optimization, integration, statistics. Assignments emphasize use of computers. 

Nature of Course 

LECTURE/TUTORIAL 

Prerequisites (or special instructions) : 

MATH 151-3 or 154-3 or 157-3 (or 150-3), 

CMPT 103-3 (except COBOL). 

Students who have obtained credit for MATH 104-3 may not receive credit for MATH 216-3. 

Students who have taken or are taking MATH 316-3 for credi 

.

t may not take Math 216-3 for credit. 

What course (courses), if any, is being dropped from the calendar if this course is 

approved: ?

Which of your present faculty would be available to make the proposed offering 

possible: Dm, Russell, Pechianer and others. 

VObjectives of the Course 

.To provide students having basic calculus with a background in many of the 

modern methods of computation. Students who anticipate using the computer 

for data analysis, numerical simulation, and numerical approximation in 

in general will be given an introductory description of available algorithms 

and their possible pitfalls.

Computational Methods

The Mathematics Department has approved the introduction of the course 

MATH

216-3, Introduction to Computational Methods 

which is soon to be taken before the Faculty of Science Undergraduate 

Curriculum Conunittee for its approval. 

Math 216-3 represents a revision and slight upgrading of our present 

course Math 104-3, Elementary Computational Methods, which is to be dropped 

upon approval by Senate of the new course. Math 216-3 will rely on the 

same library resources as Math 104-3 did and I beleive they are quite adequate. 

Would

you please provide confirmation that the library resources are

adequate in the area covered by Math 216-3.

Thanks.
