Computational methods for fitting nonlinear models have developed considerably in the last decade. Statistical use of these techniques has, as yet, lagged somewhat behind. The present paper gives a ...

Optical wavefront reconstruction algorithms played a central role in the effort to identify gross manufacturing errors in NASA's Hubble Space Telescope (HST). NASA's success with reconstruction ...

Optical systems employ a rich array of physical effects which are described by well-understood equations. However, for all but the simplest devices these equations are typically too complex to permit ...

Ordinary and partial differential equations, linear algebra, matrix/vector calculus, numerical methods, introduction to optimization methods, and other topics as time permits. Both analytical and ...

General aspects of polynomial interpolation theory. Formulations in different basis, e.g. Lagrange, Newton etc. and their approximation and computational properties ...

I've written about numerical calculations before, but perhaps they weren't too inspiring. What are numerical calculations? Here is my own definition. Numerical Calculations (numerical methods, ...

Analysis and implementation of numerical methods for random processes: random number generators, Monte Carlo methods, Markov chains, stochastic differential equations, and applications. Recommended ...
