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

Emneevaluering

There must be an early dialogue between the course supervisor, the student union representative and the students. The purpose is feedback from the students for changes and adjustments in the course for the current semester.In addition, a digital subject evaluation must be carried out at least every three years. Its purpose is to gather the students experiences with the course.
