LEARNING OUTCOMES
After the course, the students will be able to:
- explain the theory behind classical numerical methods (for example: Newton-Raphson, Runge-Kutta and LU factorisation)
- use Matlab as a tool to solve, analyse and visualise computational problems and data.
- correct, validate, and improve existing code.
- reflect on the validity and accuracy of numerical predictions.
