Module Details

Ability for deep understanding of the fundamental numerical methods.

Ability to recognize the advantages and disadvantages of each method in order to decide the most convenient in use on application basis

Ability to use specific software in order to develop the necessary applications

Ability to analyze and interpret data

There are no prerequisite modules. It is, however, recommended that students should have a good knowledge of Mathematics (Calculus, Linear Algebra, Differential Equations) as well as fundamental skills on Scientific Programming)

Introduction (discretization, error analysis), Numerical Differentiation (forward, backward and central differences), Numerical Integration (trapezoid rule, Simpson rule, Newton-Cotes formulae), Interpolation/Extrapolation (Taylor, Lagrange polynomials), Numerical solution of algebraic equations (trial & error, bisection, Newton-Raphson), Numerical solution of linear systems (Gauss, Jacobi, Gauss-Seidel), Numerical Integration of Ordinary Differential Equations (Euler, Runge-Kutta), Finite Differences, Special Topics, Non-linear systems.
