Course content

  • Vector spaces and linear transformations Subspaces of Rn, base and dimension. General vector spaces, function spaces and norms. Matrix transformations, null spaces and column spaces. Application: Fourier series and solution of partial differential equations.
  • Differential equations with solution methods.
  • Numerical methods General numerics: Representations of floating point numbers in the computer, calculations with floating point numbers and various sources of error. Error magnification and condition. Convergence rate
  • Direct methods:
    • Solution of linear equation systems, PA = LU factorization, least squares method
    • Interpolation with cubic splines, Bezier curves.
  • Iterative methods:
    • Newton's multivariate method
    • Solution of linear equation systems (Jakobi, conjugate gradients)
    • Calculation of eigenvalues and eigenvectors (power method)
    • Solution of some types of differential equations, Runge-Kutta.
