Learning outcomes |
The main goal of this curricular unit (CU) is to provide an introduction to the basic concepts and techniques in Linear Algebra and Numerical Analysis.
At the end of this CU, the student will be able to
- understand fundamental properties of matrices, including determinants and inverse matrices and solve systems of linear equations using direct methods;
- describe and analyse numerical methods for solving non-linear equations, systems of linear equations and of non-linear equations, methods for polynomail interpolation, methods for approximating integrals and methods for approximating solutions to simple ordinary differential equations (initial value problems);
- apply the methods discussed to solve mathematical problems in bioengenhary.
