This course will enable each student to understand the meaning and the potentialities of simple numerical algorithms; the students will learn to implement those Algorithms, and to perform simple correctness tests.
Each student can handle basic Numerical Methods. He is able to implement in Matlab simple Numerical Algorithms.
Each student must know the fundamental concepts of Infinitesimal Calculus in one and more variables and Linear Algebra.
Floating-point numbers. Notions of programming in MATLAB
- Numerical solution of nonlinear equations: Picard and Newton methods
- Data approximation and numerical interpolation
- Numerical integration
- Numerical methods for the solution of ordinary differential equations: Euler methods, Cranck-Nicolson, Runge-Kutta methods
- Finite difference and finite element methods for the solution of elliptic partial differential equations
- Conjugate gradient method for the solution of linear systems
