Learning objectives (competencies)
Objectives
Competences
Taxonomy levels
The students understand the functionality and the basic commands of Python. They are able to use it to write simple scripts and programs to solve typical numerical problems and to implement this in weekly group work. They use the functions provided in Python correctly.
F, M, SO
K2, K3
Students can define the basic concepts of computer arithmetic and correctly apply the associated error estimations. They can explain the possible causes of numerical instabilities.
F, M
K2, K3
Students can explain the principles of the most important solution methods for nonlinear equations and linear systems of equations and apply them to concrete problems. They can numerically calculate real or complex eigenvalues and eigenvectors.
