NUMERICAL ANALYSIS AND PROGRAMMING
Course Code: BTM 301 Credit Units: 03
Course Objective:
This course deals with the techniques of numerical analysis, which gives the solution to applied problem when
ordinary analytical method fails. Emphasis is given on computer programming also so that the given techniques
can be used in design of engineering and scientific problems.
