Description

Throughout the last fifty years fast numerical methods have revolutionised the applications of mathematics, making it possible to simulate huge problems in science and engineering that are intractable by analytic methods. This course is designed to give an overview of the design, analysis and implementation of the most fundamental numerical techniques in numerical linear algebra, the interpolation of functions, and the evaluation of integrals. The course will be heavily based on Python as programming language. While we present many Python examples throughout the course, students are strongly advised to have either some previous programming experience in any language or to have taken MATH0011, which includes Python programming.
