SUBJECT CONTENT IN OUTLINE
The course aims at acquiring the knowledge for:
The solution of systems of linear equations, non-linear algebraic equations, ordinary Differential equations, interpolation and approximation of data and numerical approximation of integrals.
The aim of the course is to understand the importance of numerical methods for solving scientific and technological problems for which either there is no analytical solution, or it is very difficult to calculate it.
On completion of this course, students should be armed with numerical and computational techniques for solving a wide variety of fundamental mathematical problems that arise in diverse scientific areas.
In particular, upon successful completion of the course, the student will
The solution of systems of linear equations, non-linear algebraic equations, ordinary Differential equations, interpolation and approximation of data and numerical approximation of integrals.
