One of my students will almost have finished his BS degree by Christmas, except that he still needs one course: a second course in numerical analysis. He would like to find a school that offers this course by correspondence, or at least a school that is on the quarter system, so he can get done sooner (we use semesters here, so he would be in school until May). Here is a syllabus of the course he needs. Please send me e-mail or contact me otherwise if you can help. Numerical Methods for Scientists and Engineers (3 semester hours). Systems of ordinary differential equations, least squares approximation using trigonometric polynomials, the Fast Fourier Transformation, theory of Runge-Kutta and multistep methods, boundary value problems, finite difference solutions to linear partial differential equations. -- John Shipman/Zoological Data Processing/Socorro, NM/john@jupiter.nmt.edu ``Let's go outside and commiserate with nature.'' --Dave Farber
