Knowledge
The student who successfully completes the course will be able to demonstrate a solid knowledge of the basic topics of numerical calculus. In particular, he/she will be able to evaluate a numerical scheme from both the point of views of the accuracy of the approximation it provides and the computational cost of its implementation.
Assessment criteria of knowledge
During the oral exam, the student must be able to demonstrate his/her knowledge of the main course contents using the appropriate terminology. He/She must also demonstrate some ability of putting into practice, with critical awareness, some of the activities carried out in laboratory during the course.

Syllabus
The course provides notions on error analysis, finite precision number system and arithmetic, numerical approximation of the solution of nonlinear equations, efficient methods for the solution of systems of linear equation and for the approximation of eigenvalues. The course also approaches the main issues related to function approximation, numerical integration and numerical solution of initial value problems for ordinary differential equations.
