Course content
Introduction. Types of errors. Systems of linear algebraic equations. Nonlinear algebraic equations. Interpolation, numerical derivation and integration. Splines. Fitting of experimental data. Numerical solution of ordinary differential equations. Partial differential equations. Introduction to finite element method.

Learning activities and teaching methods

Learning outcomes
The course provides students with basic knowledge of numerical methods such as approximation of functions (Lagrange's interpolation polynomial), splines, numerical differentiation, numerical integration, numerical methods of linear algebra, methods of solving nonlinear equations and systems, numerical methods for ordinary differential equations, and difference schemes for partial differential equations. Theoretical fundamentals are explained and practical applications are exercised on personal computers using standard software (Excel and Matlab).
