(a) DescriptionThe course is to sharpen the students’ skills in using numerical ap- proaches to solve mathematical/real life problems. The focus will be on the ability to correctly formulate numerical problems and schemes that solve them. Emphasis will be put on the precision and robustness of the schemes. (b) AimsThe aims of the course are • To provide a solid basis on the numerical approaches to computa- tional problem solving;• To provide students with problem analysis and solving skills to be able to handle typical computational problems in practice.
By the end of the course, the student should be able to• Derive schemes for different set ups of numerical problems • Test for convergence of different schemes • Correctly use the schemes to generate solutions to the numerical problems to the required precision
