Prerequisites

The prerequisite(s) for this Teaching Unit (Unité d’enseignement – UE) for the programmes/courses that offer this Teaching Unit are specified at the end of this sheet.
Learning outcomes

At the end of this learning unit, the student is able to :

A.A. S1.G1, S1.3 - A.A. S2.2, S2.4 - A.A S6.1
Given the learning outcomes of the "Bachelor in Computer science" program, this course contributes to the development, acquisition and evaluation of the following learning outcomes:
  • S1.G1, S1.3
  • S2.2, S2.4
  • S6.1
Students who have successfully completed this course will be able to:
  • model a simple problem using the proper mathematical notation,
  • identify classical numerical methods suitable for solving a simple problem expressed mathematically,
  • choose, on the basis of precise criteria, the most effective method for numerically solving such a problem,
  • implement a numerical resolution of this simple problem,
  • explain the problems related to the numerical resolution of equations and their impacts: rounding errors, convergence, stopping criteria.
 
Content
The philosophy of the course is to introduce numerical methods by describing and, above all, implementing concepts from algebra and mathematical analysis courses. The aim is to develop algorithms while observing the limits of implementing a mathematical concept: data representation (numbers, etc.) and error handling (calculation, stability, propagation, etc.).
Teaching methods
By presentation of the concept and by implementation.
Evaluation methods
The examination will be a written, on-site test with open-ended questions. It will cover all the material from the lectures and practical sessions. The examination grade will contribute 90% to the final evaluation, while the remaining 10% will come from continuous work and attendance during the practical sessions. The grade for continuous work and attendance is retained throughout the academic year and will not be re-evaluated during the second exam session.
