Learning outcomes |
With this curricular unit it is intended that the student obtain numerical tools to solve the most varied problems in physics and related fields.
At the end of this curricular unit the student should be able to:
a) analyze the errors and determine their propagation
b) determine numerically zeros of functions
c) calculate numerically extremes of functions
d) solve numerically systems of linear equations
e) interpolate and approximate functions
f) derive and integrate functions numerically
g) solve equations and systems of differential equations by numerical methods
h) in face of a proposed problem, translate it mathematically, identify possible methods to solve it, choose the most appropriate, implement it and critically analyze the results

Teaching Methodologies and Assessment Criteria |
The course is structured in theoretical-practical classes. The teacher introduces the concepts, states and proves the fundamental results, provides examples and applications. The combination of the theory with the practice in the classes allows the exercises to be performed immediately after each theoretical content, which improves the acquisition of knowledge and skills. In addition, the student is encouraged to participate in classes, to interact with the teacher and with colleagues, and to work autonomously, in the form of exercises, formulation and problem solving.
