Learning objectives

One of the main aims of the course is to provide the mathematical foundation underlying the different methods or algorithms, recall the main theoretical properties and show examples and counterexamples whic illustrate the advantages. It also aims to test the algorithms presented in a simple and fairly universal software such as Matlab.

Prerequisites

Basic: calculus and Linear Algebra.

Course unit content

Approximation of data and functions (14 hours)- Numerical integration: Newton-Cotes formulas (8 hours) - Systems of linear equations: direct methods, factorization (14 hours) - Non-linear equations (6 hours) - Introduction to Matlab (4 hours)

Full programme

Accuracy of data and functions: polynomial interpolation, Lagrange interpolation formula, Hermite interpolation formula, the formula of Newton divided differences, interpolation of piecewise polynomial functions, spline functions, interpolation of functions of several variables (hint).
Numerical integration: interpolatory quadrature formulas, according to Newton-Cotes Integration, Error estimates, Formule composed.
Numerical linear algebra: direct methods, the method of Gaussian elimination, Gauss decomposition and LU factorization, matrix inverse. Non linear equations: bisection method.
