Abstract | The course gives an introduction into fundamental techniques and algorithms of numerical mathematics which play a central role in numerical simulations in science and technology. The course focuses on fundamental ideas and algorithmic aspects of numerical methods. The exercises involve actual implementation of numerical methods in C++. |
Objective | * Knowledge of the fundamental algorithms in numerical mathematics * Knowledge of the essential terms in numerical mathematics and the techniques used for the analysis of numerical algorithms * Ability to choose the appropriate numerical method for concrete problems * Ability to interpret numerical results * Ability to implement numerical algorithms afficiently |
Content | * Computing with Matrices and Vectors * Direct Methods for linear systems of equations * Least Squares Techniques * Data Interpolation and Fitting * Filtering Algorithms * Data Interpolation and Data Fitting in 1D * Approximation of Functions in One Dimension * Numerical Quadrature * Iterative Methods for non-linear systems of equations |
Lecture notes | Lecture materials (PDF documents and codes) will be made available to the participants through the course web page, whose address will be announced in the beginning of the course. |

Language of examination | English |
Repetition | The performance assessment is offered every session. Repetition possible without re-enrolling for the course unit. |
Mode of examination | written 225 minutes |
Additional information on mode of examination | Mode of examination: written 180 minutes (the 225 minutes mentioned elsewhere includes the time reserved for reading the exam problems). Computer based examination involving coding problems beside theoretical questions. Parts of the lecture documents and other materials will be made available online during the examination. An optional 30-minutes mid-term and an optional 30-minutes end-term exam will be held during the teaching period. The grades of these interim examinations will be taken into account through a BONUS of up to 20% for the final grade. The dates for the term exams will be communicated in the beginning of the course. |
Written aids | No aids admitted. |
Online examination | The examination may take place on the computer. |
If the course unit is part of an examination block, the credits are allocated for the successful completion of the whole block. This information can be updated until the beginning of the semester; information on the examination timetable is binding. |
