In this unit students will learn introductory numerical analysis using the MATLAB computing environment.
The unit will include an introduction to
The main aims of the unit are that students
At the end of this module, the successful student will be able to:
M3.1 explain and apply the fundamental concepts behind numerical analysis;
M3.2 explain and apply standard methods of numerical analysis using MATLAB;
M3.3 import data and export results in suitable formats, interpret and compare these outputs;
M3.4 construct and execute simple programmes, for example, to create graphs and other visual representations of data.
Teaching will be delivered through a combination of synchronous and asynchronous sessions, which may include lectures, practical activities supported by drop-in sessions, problem sheets and self-directed exercises.
This unit will be assessed by coursework (a report/workbook will be submitted to show competency in computational numerical analysis). Formative assessment/feedback will also be provided throughout the unit from tutorial exercises, to help students prepare for the summative assessments.
