Aim: The course decribes how numerical computations are done most conveniently on a computer. The emphasis is on both the underlying mathematical methods and their practical implementation in Matlab. The goal is to make the student able to choose an appropriate algorithm for solving a given problem, taking into consideration the amount of computations as well as the influence of rounding errors. Exercises in technical writing is also a part of the course. Applications of the material are presented by guest lecturers.
Contents: Floating point represetation on a computer; approximation and rounding errors. Algorithms for solving systems of linear equations, interpolation, numerical quadrature, nonlinear systems of equations, and ordinary differential equations. Matlab programming, implementation of selected algorithms in Matlab, and technical writing.
