Course objectives
This course together with the course Numerical Methods II provides comprehensive introduction to the foundations of numerical mathematics as a separate discipline. The emphasis is given to the algorithmization and computer implementation. Some examples with graphical outputs help to explain even some difficult parts. At the end of course students should be able to apply numerical methods for solving practical problems and use these methods in other disciplines e.g. in statistical methods.
Learning outcomes
Student will be able to:
- to solve numerical nonlinear equations and to decide which method will be most suitable for the problem,
- use dircet and iterative methods to find solutions for linear and nonlinear systems,
- interpolate data using interpolation polynomial or spline,
- approximate the data using the least squares method,
- find a numerical approximation of the derivative and the integral,
- find numerically the minimum of the function.
