Course content
Numerical Computation is performed very fast on today's architectures. However, since floating-point number has finite precision, rounding error may occur in each operation. If rounding errors accumulate, the computed result may be inaccurate. Verified Numerical Computations (VNC) can check stability of the numerical results. In this class we learn elemental topics about VNC.
Purpose of class
First, students learn definition of floating-point numbers and floating-point arithmetic. Next topic is error analysis. The purpose is to understand rounding errors for floating-point arithmetic.
Goals and objectives
  1. understanding floating-point numbers and floating-point arithmetic
  2. understanding rounding errors in floating-point arithmetic
  3. understanding how to analyze an upper bound of rounding errors
