Numerical Analysis I
In this course you learn to solve theoretical and applied mathematical problems using numerical methods.
MM5016 Numerical Analysis I replaces the earlier course MM5014 Numerical Analysis.
Course content
- error calculus and error analysis, analysis of convergence of numerical methods
- orientation regarding approximation theory, orthogonal polynomials
- non-linear equations
- numerical linear algebra, linear systems of equations, eigenvalue problems
- numerical integration
- interpolation and extrapolation
- ordinary differential equations with initial and boundary value problems
-
Course structure
The course consists of three elements; theory, a project and practical exercises.
Teaching format
Instruction is given in the form of lectures, exercise sessions and computer laborations.
Assessment
Examination for the course is done with a written examination, and written and oral presentation of the practical exercises and the project. To pass the course, you need to pass all three elements.
