The aim of numerical analysis is to design and study methods for solving certain mathematical problems derived from the modeling of real problems, whose solution we seek to calculate using a computer, i.e. to find or give approximate values of the exact solution with a certain degree of accuracy.
In this course, you learn about the principles and the ideas behind these computational methods, and also how to think when you solve problems with computers and programming. Basic concepts, ideas, and methods in scientific computing are covered in the course. The main themes in the course are numeric solutions to integrals, non-linear equations and differential equations in one variable.
