Course Objectives The objective of the course is to study basic notions of Approximation Theory. Approximation Theory not only provides theoretical foundations for Applied Mathematics, Numerical Analysis, and Scientific Computing, but also gives methods to solve practical problems of computation. The course is for students of mathematical and engineering departments interested in analysis and its applications to numerical computations.
Course Learning Outcomes The students who succeeded in this course;
  • At the end of the course the students are expected to: 1) Understand the notions of interpolation as well as of uniform and least-square approximation. 2) Be able to analyze inconsistent linear system and find their Chebyshev solutions. 3) Know the Weierstrass approximation theorem and Bernstein polynomials. 4) Understand the notion of convexity and knowledge of the Caratheodory theorem. 5) Knowledge of various orthogonal systems of functions and orthogonal expansions.
