Numerical Analysis Microcomputer Laboratory

该项目将支持购买计算设备，以便在本科生的数值分析课程中引入重要的实验室组成部分。它是由仪器和实验室改进(ILI)计划资助的，该计划的目标是通过支持开发新的或改进的基于仪器的本科实验室和/或科学、数学或工程领域的现场课程来提高本科课程的质量。特别是，该项目将使学生能够获得在本课程中学习的所有重要数值方法的实践经验；目标是通过广泛的实验和解决问题来增加学生对数值方法行为的理解。

This project will support the purchase of computing equipment which would allow the introduction of a significant laboratory component into an undergraduate numerical analysis course. It is being funded under the Instrumentation and Laboratory Improvement (ILI) Program, which has the goal of improving the quality of the undergraduate curriculum by supporting projects to develop new or improved instrument-based undergraduate laboratory and/or field courses in science, mathematics, or engineering. In particular, the project will enable students to gain hands-on experience with all the important numerical methods studied in the course; the goal is to increase the students' understanding of the behavior of numerical methods through extensive experimentation and problem solving.
