Course aims

Core subject of the bachelor level mathematics programme. To develop basic skills in using the main numerical algorithms on computers.

Brief description of the course

Exact mathematics versus numerical methods. Solution of equations by iteration. Interpolation and splines. Orthogonal polynomials and their applications. The method of least squares and its applications. Numerical integration and differentiation. Optimisation methods. Numerical methods for differential equations.

Learning outcomes in the course

Upon completing the course the student:
- can demonstrate understanding of common numerical methods and how they are used to obtain approximate solutions to otherwise intractable mathematical problems;
- can apply numerical methods to obtain approximate solutions to mathematical problems;
- can derive numerical methods for various mathematical operations and tasks, such as interpolation, differentiation, integration, the solution of linear and nonlinear equations, and the solution of differential equations;
- can analyse and evaluate the accuracy of common numerical methods. Implement numerical methods in Mathematica
