Aim of the course

- familiarize students with the basic numerical methods properties that are used for engineering calculations

- formation among the students of understanding the need for correct implementation of computer calculations with acceptable errors

- basic ability formation of numerical methods for practical use in computer calculations – using Matlab

Prerequisites

Selected issues of circuit theory I and II

Scope

Mathematical bases. Bases conception and theorems of mathematical analyse used in numerical methods, Taylor’s series.

Errors and representation of numbers. Bases definitions and type of errors, badly conditional systems, numerical stability, methods to avoid errors, decimal system, binary system, sexadecimal system, floating point numbers, fixed-point numbers, coupling with errors

Finding roots of nonlinear equations. Methods: bisection method, Newton’s method, secant method, Banach fixed point method use, analyse and errors estimation, extrapolation, case of badly conditional system, numerical stability of solutions

Interpolation. Interpolation characterization and its using. Lagrange’s formula, residual quotients, property and Newton’s formula.

Error analyses: spline Interpolation, Hermite’s interpolation. Approximation. Least square method, mean squared error, orthogonal polynomial using. Numerical integration, Newtona-Coatesa’s quadrature – trapezium method, Gauss’s quadrature, analyses and errors estimation, Richardson’s extrapolation.
