Learning outcomes
The introductory part of the course focuses on the approximation of functions and interpolation of functions using splines (quadratic and cubic spline, B-spline) and interpolation in two and more dimensions. Numerical solution of ordinary differential equations (predictor-corrector methods) is also discussed. The course includes methods for solving partial differential equations with boundary and initial conditions. The use of the finite difference method is described, including the transcription of boundary conditions. The course includes the introduction of the concept of classical solutions and an explanation of the principle of weak problem formulation. Subsequently, the principle of using the Ritz and Galerkin methods to find an approximation of the solution, the use of the finite element method is discussed. The final topic focuses on the basics of optimization problems using evolutionary algorithms.
Knowledge of fundamentals of numerical mathematics.
