Learning outcomes
A successful learner from this course will be able to: a) Dealing with basic numerical analysis concepts such as: accuracy, truncation and round-off errors, condition numbers, convergence, stability b) Solving linear system numerically c) Solving nonlinear equations and systems numerically d) Dealing with numerical methods for solving ordinary differential equations. In addition, at the end of the course students are able to implement Matlab scripts and functions applying the studied methods to case studies derived from engineering practice.
Course contents
The course will cover fundamental topics in numerical computation, including in particular:
Basic concepts: accuracy, precision, truncation and round-off errors, condition numbers, operation counts, convergence and stability.
Matlab programming environment.
Numerical Solution of nonlinear equations.
Numerical solution of linear and nonlinear systems.
Numerical solution of Ordinary Differential Equations.
Throughout the course, lectures will be supported by computer laboratory activities, during which the Matlab software will be used for solving practical problems.
