From the calendar

Official source · University of Toronto Mississauga

Computational methods for solving numerical problems in science, engineering and business. Linear and non-linear equations, approximation, optimization, interpolation, integration and differentiation. The aim is to give students a basic understanding of floating-point arithmetic and the implementation of algorithms used to solve numerical problems, as well as a familiarity with current numerical computing environments. Course concepts are crucial to a wide range of practical applications such as computational finance and portfolio management, graphics and special effects, data mining and machine learning, as well as robotics, bioinformatics, medical imaging and others.

Both a midterm and a final appear in what we hold, so this course has historically been assessed on both rather than on a single end-of-term paper.

Counts, not a library. Pyko does not host or distribute course files, and this page is not an offer to supply one — the archive is what lets these pages describe how a course is assessed.

What we don’t have yet

A course averageNo term has been reported for this offering. Averages come from students who contribute their own results, and nobody has yet.
Instructor-level detailAverages are not split by instructor. At these sample sizes the difference between sections is noise, not signal.

What this opens up

6 courses list CSC338H5 as a prerequisite

The other 5 have no page yet. Listing a course here means it names CSC338H5 among its prerequisites — often as one of several ways to satisfy the same requirement, so this is what CSC338H5 makes available, not what it alone guarantees.
