| Course contents : | This course tackles advanced scientific calculation methods, both from a theoretical point of view and from the point of view of practical application of algorithms to programmes using intensive calculations.
The algorithms studied cover the following domains: interpolation (polynomials, Fourier, wavelets), integration, resolving large linear and non-linear systems (direct and iterative methods), problems of proper values, methods of resolving equations using partial derivatives.
This course introduces the C++ programming language for the implementation of these algorithms, both serial and parallel. Practical work will cover in detail the use of BLAS and LAPACK libraries and the parallelisation of algorithms using MPI and Open MP.
