Numerical Methods WM-I-S2-E1-MNU
The aim of the course is to provide an introduction to computer calculations. The following will be discussed: floating-point arithmetic and selected numerical algorithms. The laboratory serves to deepen the content presented in the lecture, in particular to learn the practical implementation of the algorithms covered.

Learning outcomes
LECTURE — The student:
W1— explains the impact of the limited precision of number representation and of numerical errors on the accuracy and reliability of computational results (I2_W03),
W2 — describes the theoretical foundations of numerical methods, states and proves selected theorems, and explains the application of the methods to solving computational problems (I2_W03),
W3 — compares numerical methods in terms of assumptions, accuracy, stability and range of applications (I2_W03).
LABORATORY/TUTORIALS — The student:
U1 — selects and uses appropriate numerical packages and libraries to solve computational problems (I2_U03),
U2 — selects and applies numerical methods to solve computational problems, interprets the results obtained, and analyses the cost and computational efficiency of the solutions applied (I2_U02, I2_U06).
Assessment criteria
For all learning outcomes, the following assessment criteria apply in all forms of verification:
grade 5: achieved fully (without noticeable shortcomings),
grade 4.5: achieved almost fully, and the criteria for awarding a higher grade are not met,
grade 4: achieved to a considerable degree, and the criteria for awarding a higher grade are not met,
grade 3.5: achieved to a considerable degree – with a clear predominance of positives – and the criteria for awarding a higher grade are not met,
grade 3: achieved for the majority of cases covered by verification, and the criteria for awarding a higher grade are not met,
grade 2: not achieved for the majority of cases covered by verification.
