Objectives of Programme's Learning Outcomes

• Understand the fundamentals
• Demonstrate knowledge and understanding of mathematics suitable for the study of physics, and be able to use this mathematics in applications in the field of physics
• Undertake further study having already acquired and enhanced the necessary learning skills
• Grow personally and professionally
• Have developed generic skills that are applicable in other contexts, especially a basic knowledge of chemistry, the use of the English language and understanding programming techniques

Learning Outcomes of UE

At the end of this teaching, the students will master the basis of numerical analysis in both its mathematical and implementation aspects.  They will be able to use their knowledge to solve problems.

Content of UE

Numerical methods for root finding, numerical errors, linear systems, polynomial interpolation and least squares, ordinary differential equations.

Prior Experience

Continuity and differientiability of functions of a single real variable (including the assiated theorems, Taylor expansions,...), ability to solve linear ordinary differential equations with constant coefficients, linear algebra (linear applications, representation in a basis, linear systems,...), basic mechanics (Newton's laws).  Ability to program in at least one computer lanbguage.  Ability to perform rigorous and precise reasonings.

Type of Assessment for UE in Q1

• Presentation and/or works
• Oral examination
• Practical test

Q1 UE Assessment Comments

The evaluation of the project is worth 15% of the final mark.  It is required to pass both the project and the oral exam.  If it is not the case, the final mark is min{0.15 P, 0.85 O} where P (resp. O) is the mark on 20 obtained at the project (resp. at the oral exam).

Type of Assessment for UE in Q3

• Presentation and/or works
• Oral examination
• Practical Test

Q3 UE Assessment Comments

The evaluation of the project is worth 15% of the final mark.  It is required to pass both the project and the oral exam.  If it is not the case, the final mark is min{0.15 P, 0.85 O} where P (resp. O) is the mark on 20 obtained at the project (resp. at the oral exam).
