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 second part of the course deals with basic probabilistic notions and with the way in which to understand these notions from both theoretical and practical points of view. The students learn the statistical way of thinking as a means of understanding real-life processes. The basic methods of collecting and analyzing statistical data are introduced. The students are taught how to use these general methods to solve the problems arising from other courses of their study and from practice. 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; * to understand and to use basic notions from combinatorics and probability theory; * to formulate questions, which can be answered using the given data; to learn the principles of collecting data, processing data, and presenting relevant values and results for this purpose; * to choose and use suitable statistical methods for data analysis; * to draw conclusions and predictions on the basis of the obtained data.

Summary

The first part of this course deals with selected issues in numerical computations (including sources and types of numerical errors, conditionality of certain problems and algorithms), with methods for solving algebraic and transcendent equations, with solving systems of linear equations, with interpolation and approximation of functions, with numerical computations of integrals, and with Cauchy problems for ordinary differential equations. The second part of this course is devoted to the processing of a statistical data set with one argument (characteristics of a statistical data set, processing of large statistical data sets, estimates of parameters of a data set). and to testing of statistical hypotheses.
