Course objectives
The aim of this course is to acquaint students with basic numerical approaches to solving problems they have already encountered in mathematical analysis and algebra.
Learning outcomes
Students should understand the numerical approaches discussed and recognize the suitability of their choice where appropriate problems cannot be solved analytically, or. obtaining a solution in this way is extremely difficult.
Syllabus
  • 1. Numerical representation: representation of numbers, origin, and classification of errors, errors of arithmetic operations, the conditionality of problems and numerical stability of algorithms. 2. Interpolation: interpolation by algebraic polynomials - existence and uniqueness of interpolation polynomial, estimation of interpolation error, Lagrange, Newton and Hermit interpolation polynomial, interpolation on equidistant nodes. Spline interpolation.
  • 3. Approximation: a selection of approximating function class, least-squares method.
  • 4. Numerical solution of nonlinear equations: root separation, simple iteration method, interval bisection method, tangent method, mowing method, falsi regulation method.
  • 5. Numerical solution of systems of equations: direct-LU-decomposition methods, Gaussian elimination method, a partial and complete selection of the main element.
  • 6. Numerical integration: Newton-Cotes quadrature formulas, composite quadrature formulas, error estimation.

Assessment methods
The written part of the exam is focused on numerical mastering of the curriculum. The oral part of the exam examines the understanding of the basic concepts and theories of the theory and their interrelations. Students should understand the numerical approaches discussed and recognize the suitability of their choice where appropriate problems cannot be solved analytically, or. obtaining a solution in this way is extremely difficult.
Language of instruction
