《计算方法》课程介绍
计算方法课程是计算机科学与技术专业本科生的学科基础课。它以各类数学问题的数值解法作为研究对象，并对算法的收敛性、稳定性和误差进行分析，以了解计算的全过程。
伴随着计算机技术的飞速发展和计算数学方法与理论的日益成熟，科学计算已成为科学研究的重要手段，许多新的计算性学科纷纷兴起，如计算力学、计算物理、计算化学、计算生物学等。不论其背景与含义如何，要用计算机进行科学计算都必须建立相应的数学模型，并研究其适合于计算机编程的计算方法，而这正是“计算方法”课程的研究内容。因此计算方法在科学计算领域有着非常重要的地位。本课程既具有数学类课程中理论上的抽象性和严谨性，又具有很强的实践性，是一门与计算机应用密切结合的实用性很强的课程。
Introduction to Computational Methods
The course of Computational Methods is a basic course for undergraduate students of Computer Science and Technology. It takes all kinds of numerical methods for solving the mathematics problems as the research objects, as well as the convergence of algorithm, stability and error analysis.
With the rapid development of computer technology and computational mathematics methods, scientific computing has become an important means of scientific research. Many new computational disciplines have arisen, such as computational mechanics, computational physics, computational chemistry, and computational biology. Regardless of their backgrounds and meanings, to establish the appropriate mathematical models and design the calculation methods is necessary for scientific computing, which is the content of Computational Methods exactly. So it takes an important position in the field of scientific computing. The course of Computational Methods is a type of mathematics course, therefore it has the features of being abstractive and rigor. Moreover, it has closely related to computer applications, so it is a practical course.
