Teaching
Course description
This course offers an introduction to mathematical computing which is an important skill when studying and solving scientific research and engineering problems. After this course the student will be able to use Mathematica and MATLAB to efficiently solve commonly encountered problems and develop their mathematical programming skills individually.Preparing for the course
This course focuses on the use of Mathematica and Matlab software in scientific computation. Both programs are free for students and available at https://download.aalto.fi/Earlier knowledge of MATLAB or Mathematica is not required, but it will be helpful. The topics of this course address a wide range of mathematics which should be familiar from bachelor's level mathematics courses. You should be comfortable with at least the following:- Linear algebra and matrix operations
- Complex numbers and functions
- Integral transforms, specifically Laplace & Fourier
- Differential equations
- Vector differential and integral calculus
You may take the quiz below to see how well you remember them.FileIntroduction to the course File PDF document
