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
