78192 - Laboratory of Information Technology for the Dynamical Systems t

Learning outcomes

The student will acquire the capability to write medium complexity programs for numerical solution of differential equations, describing the dynamical system evolution. In particular, the student will be able to:

• write algorithms for the solution of differential equations;
• write C/C++ routines;
• build simple graphical interfaces for result visualization.

Course contents

• Structured programming
• Recalls of numerical algebra. Matrix operations. Linear equation system solution with direct methods
• Numerical integration of first, second and higher order differential equations. Initial value problems.
• Result visualization
