You'll build intuition for Floating-Point Arithmetic, Absolute and Relative Error, Machine Epsilon, Catastrophic Cancellation, Big-O Notation, Python Programming Basics — and, crucially, see how they behave when you change the inputs, which is hard to get from a textbook or lecture on CS323: Numerical Analysis and Computing alone.
