Numerical Analysis I

In this course you learn to solve theoretical and applied mathematical problems using numerical methods.

This course may be given in Swedish.

Course contents:

  • 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

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.
