18.086 Mathematical Methods for Engineers II

18.086 Mathematical Methods for Engineers II (Spring 2006, MIT OCW). This consists of 29 video lectures given by Professor Gilbert Strang, focusing on initial value problems and solution of large linear systems. This graduate-level course is a continuation of Mathematical Methods for Engineers I (18.085). Topics include numerical methods; initial-value problems; network flows; and optimization.
