Course
Requirements: |
As taken
from the text: The main requirements for students taking a course based on
this text are introductory EM courses and knowledge of a high-level computer
language, preferably FORTRAN or C.
Software packages such as Matlab and Mathcad may be helpful tools. Although familiarity with linear algebra
and numerical analysis is useful, it is not required. |
