Learning outcomes of the course unit

After the completion of the course the students should be able to solve equations and systems of equations numerically, use the least squares method and interpolation, numerical derivation and integration formulas as well as solve some types of differential equations numerically.In the area of probability they should know where to use specific probabilistic models. Some statistical test are also considered.

Prerequisites

The knowledge of combinatorics on the secondary school level, BMA1 and BMA2 courses.

Co-requisites

Not applicable.

Planned learning activities and teaching methods

Teaching methods depend on the type of course unit as specified in the article 7 of BUT Rules for Studies and Examinations.

Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes

Written examination is evaluated by maximum 70 points, the student's work during the semestr is assesed by maximum 30 points.

Course curriculum

Not applicable.

Work placements

Not applicable.

Aims

Subject comprises of two mathematical disciplines: NUMERICAL METHODS whose objective is to introduce fundamentals of numerical problem solving, and PROBABILITY whose purpose is to consider probabilistic techniques in problem solving.

Specification of controlled education, way of implementation and compensation for absences

The content and forms of instruction in the evaluated course are specified by a regulation issued by the lecturer responsible for the course and updated for every academic year.

Recommended optional programme components
