Objectives
Computer is essential for science and engineering researchers, technicians. Mathematical analysis is very important too. In the case that the target of the analysis is a complex phenomenon, analytical solutions cannot be gotten because the analysis become too difficult. In such a case, the numerical calculation can be used to get approximate solutions in place of the analytical solutions.
The goal of this lecture is to get the knowledge the outline of the computer, and to learn problem-solving skills by numerical calculation. It is also the goal of this lecture to be familiar with the most popular Excel.

Outline
Excel is a very useful software, We can do anything even most of the scientific computing by Excel.
In this course, students will learn about macros and VBA just after reviewing the basic use of Excel. In addition, you will learn the outline of the calculation in the computer.
Then you will learn the basics of numerical calculations and solve exercise problems. The contents of this course are as follows.
1. Numerical error in a calculation
2. Approximation of the function (Method of least squares, etc.)
3. Numerical integral
