Subject aims expressed by acquired skills and competences

The first part of this course is dedicated to finding numerical solutions of mathematical problems. These problems can arise from other courses as well as from practice. The main emphasis lays in explanation of fundamental principles of numerical methods and of their general properties. The students learn how to decide which numerical procedure is a suitable tool for solving a specific problem. An important ingredient of the course is algorithmic implementation of the learned numerical methods. The students learn how to use existing software specialized for numerical computations, too. The graduate of this course should be able: * to recognize problems solvable by numerical procedures and to find an appropriate numerical method; * to decide whether the obtained numerical solution is accurate enough and, if it is not the case, to assess the reasons of inaccuracies; * to propose an algorithmic procedure to solving a problem and to choose a suitable software for its realization;
