Course content
The course addresses methods for numerical differentiation and integration, numerical solution of ordinary differential equations, numerical solution of sets of linear equations, numerical solution of partial differential equations, and numerical optimization useful for petroleum engineering and geoscience.
Learning outcome
The course aims at giving the students experience in use of computers to solve numerical problems in petroleum engineering and geoscience.
Knowledge:
The students should acquire knowledge about basic numerical techniques applied to problems from petroleum enineering and geoscience.
Skills:
The students should be capable of writing programming routines for the numerical solution of problems in petroleum engineering and geoscience.
Learning methods and activities
Lectures, compulsory exercises and compulsory project work. Students in the international programmes will have an additional compulsory exercise. The course is given in English. The course is evaluated by a reference group.
Compulsory assignments
- Exercises
Further on evaluation
Portfolio assessment is the basis for the grade in the course. The portfolio includes a final written exam (60%) and evaluation of a compulsory group project report (40%). The results for the parts are given in %-scores, while the entire portfolio is assigned a letter grade. There are additional compulsory exercises not amounting to the final grade, conducted during the semester. If there is a re-sit examination, the form of assessment may be changed from written to oral examination. For a re-take of an examination, all assessments during the course must be re-taken.
Specific conditions
Exam registration requires that class registration is approved in the same semester. Compulsory activities from previous semester may be approved by the department.
