Content
The course provides theoretical background for typical algorithms used for numerical problem solving and their practical implementation using the Python programming language.
The problems discussed include systems of linear equations, interpolation and curve fitting, roots of nonlinear equations, numerical differentiation and integration, ordinary differential equations, and partial differential equations.
Learning outcome
After completion of the course the student
- Should have knowledge about fundamental algorithms and terminology within numerical mathematics
- Should be able to apply these algorithms to analyse propagation of errors and solve equations and differential equations
