Thesis (S.M.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Computation for Design and Optimization Program, 2009. / Vita. Cataloged from PDF version of thesis. / Numerical methods and algorithms have developed and matured vastly over the past three decades now that computational analysis can be performed on almost any personal computer. There is a need to be able to teach and present this material in a manner that is easy for the reader to understand and be able to go forward and use. Three popular course at MIT were without lecture notes; in this thesis the lecture notes are presented. The first chapter covers material taught in Numerical Methods for Partial Differential Equations (2.097/6.339/16.920) specifically the Integral Equation Methods section of this course, chapter two shows the notes for the course Introduction to Numerical Simulation (2.096/6.336/16.910), and chapter three contains the notes for the class Foundations of Algorithms and Computational Techniques in Systems Biology (6.581/20.482). These course notes give a broad overview of many algorithms and numerical methods that one can use to solve many problems that span many fields - from biology to aerospace to electronics to mechanics. / by Laura L.
