Please note! Course description is confirmed for two academic years (1.8.2018-31.7.2020), which means that in general, e.g. Learning outcomes, assessment methods and key content stays unchanged. However, via course syllabus, it is possible to specify or change the course execution in each realization of the course, such as how the contact sessions are organized, assessment methods weighted or materials used.
LEARNING OUTCOMES
Students learn to analyze and solve problems in linear algebra that occur often in scientific computing, data fitting and optimization. The main focus is on solution of linear systems, least squares problems and eigenvalue problems. After the course, the students can choose the best solution method for each problem and have a good understanding on issues related to numerical stability of the applied algorithms.
