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: stability, accuracy, algorithmic complexity, and show examples and counterexamples which illustrate the advantages and weaknesses. It also aims to test the algorithms presented in a simple and fairly universal software such as MATLAB.

Prerequisites

Basics: Calculus and Linear Algebra.

Course unit content

Error Analysis - Approximation of data and functions - Numerical integration: Newton-Cotes formulas - Hint formulas for integrals in multiple dimensions - Systems of linear equations: direct methods, factorization, iterative methods - Nonlinear equations - Ordinary differential equations (discrete methods one step) - Introduction to Matlab
