Learning outcomes of the course unit

Comprehension of basic aspects of computing methods and differentiation of their various types. Realization of potentialities of computing methods, particularly from the viewpoint of their convergence and stability. The knowledge of algorithms of approximate methods including theoretical conditions for the correct application. Effective employing of mathematical software including the ability to assess the results obtained by computations. The development of the ability to apply approximate methods to solve problems from applications.

Prerequisites

Differential calculus of functions of one and more variables, integral calculus of functions of one variable, linear algebra.

Co-requisites

Not applicable.

Planned learning activities and teaching methods

Instructing is divided into lectures and exercises. Lectures are focused on the theory referring to applications, exercises on practical calculations and solving of application tasks.

Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes

Requirements to obtain a closure :
" to attend exercise sessions according to the given conditions of controlled classes
" to pass two midterm written control tests with a grading "E" at least


The exam is composed of two parts- written and oral, whereby a written part makes the main proportion.
The length of a written part is 1 hour. Written part is evaluated as the sum of ratings of both tasks. If a student does not obtain at least 50% points out of all, the written part and the whole exam is graded "F" and a student does not proceed to oral part.

Aims

To understand general principles and types of computing methods together with the problems of convergence and stability. To know the sources of errors, their classification and to perform the estimations of errors. To master effective approximate methods to solve algebraic and transcendental equations, systems of linear and nonlinear equations, basic methods of functions approximation, approximate methods for definite integrals and Monte Carlo methods for selected problems. To have a good command to employ mathematical software.

Specification of controlled education, way of implementation and compensation for absences

Attendance at lectures is not controlled. Attendance at exercises(problem sessions) is compulsory and is regularly checked. A student is obliged to give reasons for his absence. The teacher has a full competency to judge the reasons. In the affirmative, the teacher states the form of the compensation for the missed classes
