| Course contents : | Numerical analysis is at the boundary between Mathematics and Computer Science. It consists in studying how to practically obtain in a computer different mathematical concepts studied in other courses.
This course gives a brief introduction on good ways to implement a numerical method. |
|
| Course objective : | The lecture is divided in four main chapters where the ideas of each topic are sketched:
- number representations in a computer
- interpolation
- Non-linear equations
- Ordinary differential equations |
|
| Prerequisites : | High-school mathematics |
|
| Workshops : | Five tutorials are organized, where the concepts from the theoretical lecture are put in practice. |
|
| Written notes : | Lecture notes are available at the Centrale des Cours. |
|
| Assessment : | An exam is organized.
It is split into an exercise part (75% of the final grade) and a theoretical part (25% of the final grade). |
|
| Remarks : | The theory part is common with the PROJ0001 lecture taught to the first year in engineering.
The exercise part is only taught in this course. There is neither a project nor matlab programming involved in this course. |
