| Credits/ECTS : |

| Holder(s) : | Jean‑Pierre Schneiders |

| Language : | French language |
|
| Course contents : | The course begins with a few basic notions on the representations of numbers, the floating point calculus and numerical instability problems. It continues with the study of the main numerical methods for the approximate resolution of a few usual problems of algebra and analysis (non-linear equations, linear systems, interpolation, derivation, integration, ...).
During exercises sessions, the students learn to implement some of the algorithms studied in the course and to solve by themselves various problems of numerical analysis. |
|
| Course objective : | To introduce the problems and methods of numerical analysis on the basis of a few simple examples and to show how results of analysis and algebra are put to use in numerical computations. |
|
| Prerequisites : | The course uses some parts of the analysis, algebra and algorithmic courses teached during the first year. |
|
| Organization : | The course follows the official schedule given to the students at the beginning of the academic year. |
|
| Written notes : | Lecture notes are handed out to students at the beginning of the course. |
|
| Assessment : | Examinations (oral examination on the theory, written examination on exercises, computer programming examination) are organised on the whole course.
The note for the first session is based on the results obtained during these evaluations and can be modified to take into account the work done during the exercises sessions.
The second session is entirely similar to the first one. |
