Annotation
The course introduces to basic numerical methods of interpolation and approximation of functions, numerical differentiation and integration, solution of transcendent equations and systems of linear equations. Emphasis is put on estimation of errors, practical skills with the methods and demonstration of their properties using Maple and computer graphics.
Study targets
Practical use of numerical methods, also in non-standard situations, where a modification of the task is needed.
