Objectives of Programme's Learning Outcomes
Learning Outcomes of UE
By the end of the course, students will be able to use scientific computing techniques to solve practical problems (and to shed light on mathematical questions).
UE Content: description and pedagogical relevance
Numerical methods for finding roots, numerical errors, linear systems, polynomial interpolation and least squares, ordinary differential equations,...
Prior Experience
Continuity and differentiability of functions of several real variables (including the corresponding theorems: optimisation, Taylor expansions, etc.), ability to solve linear ordinary differential equations with constant coefficients, linear algebra (linear applications, representation in a base, linear systems, etc.), basic mechanics (Newton's laws). Ability to program in at least one computer language.

| S-MATH-208 | The exam consists of two parts. The first part is closed book and covers all the material discussed in class and during the labs. The second part is computer-based and requires you to write code to solve problems. The final grade is the average of the grades of the two parts, unless one of them is strictly below 7, in which case the final grade is the lower score. Active participation in HTPE sessions is required. Any absence (not justified by a medical certificate) will be penalised. |
