Teaching in the first semester, review in January
Schedule
Units courses prerequisite and corequisite
Prerequisite or corequisite units are presented within each program
Learning unit 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.
The following topics are considered:
- number representations in a computer
- Non-linear equations and systems
- interpolation
- Linear algebra
- Sparse linear algebra
- Monte-Carlo methods
Learning outcomes of the learning unit
- representation of numbers in a computer and implications on the roundoff errors in floating point computing
- interpoolation issues
- numerical methods for the resolution of nonlinear equations
- basics of numerical linear algebra
- basics of sparse linear algebra
Prerequisite knowledge and skills
A basic course in linear algebra
Planned learning activities and teaching methods
Five tutorials are organized.
A programming project in C (by groups of 2) must be carried out during the semester.
The project must be presented during the first session and cannot be presented in second sesssion.
Mode of delivery (face to face, distance learning, hybrid learning)
Face-to-face course
Additional information:
face-to-face
Recommended or required readings
Lecture notes are available on ecampus.
Exam(s) in session
Any session
- In-person
written exam ( open-ended questions )
Written work / report
Additional information:
A written exam is organized and counts for 2/3 of the final grade.
The implementation project counts for 1/3 of the final grade. It must be submitted in the first session. The project cannot be resubmitted in second session.
If it is to the student's advantage, the final grade can be 100% of the exam grade.
