Welcome to Fall 2017

This course consists of 2 parts. First 5 weeks (8/21-9/25) consist of an Introduction to Computational Math (aka MATH 2650), followed by 10 weeks (9/27 - 12/13) where we will learn Advanced Computational Math (aka MATH 3650). In short 2650+3650=3670. See course descriptions below.
