Given the learning outcomes of the "Bachelor in Engineering" program, this course contributes to the development, acquisition and evaluation of the following learning outcomes:
- S1.G1, S1.3
- S2.2, S2.4
- S6.1
Students completing successfully this course will be able to
- model simple problems using appropriate mathematical notation;
- identify numerical algorithms suitable for solving a problem expressed mathematically;
- select specific criteria on the basis of the most efficient method to numerically solve such a problem.
- implement the numerical method to solve of the problem.
The contribution of this Teaching Unit to the development and command of the skills and learning outcomes of the programme(s) can be accessed at the end of this sheet, in the section entitled “Programmes/courses offering this Teaching Unit”.
Written final exam including in the second session
- Lectures for the theoretical part
- Exercises - implementation of numerical algorithms and visualization of results in Java using open-source tools (gnuplot etc.)
