After successful completion of the course, students are able to understand the basic concepts of numerical solution algorithms. Use of standard software is discussed and how to use it in a competent way.
Content of lecture:
1) Basics of numerical computing
2) Numerical linear algebra
3) Interpolation and approximation
4) Numerical linear algebra
Exercises: Small working groups solve given problems. This includes theoretical questions as well as implementation and testing of numerical algorithms.
Lecture (content as specified above)
Exercises (projects) are regularly discussed with one of the advisors.
The results are to be documented.
Choice of programming language: There are no strict rules.
Matlab is recommended; also Maple, Python or C++ are options.
