Aims

Introducing basic concepts and methods of numerical analysis.

Initiating students in methods of numerical programming for solving mathematical problems and for start using numerical software. Students have to know the fundamental concepts of numerical analysisand various numerical algorithms.

These specific objectives allow modeling and solving complex problems using knowledge of mathematics and informatics.
