Learning outcomes
Knowledge
The student who successfully completes the course will have the ability to look at problems in approximation theory and in differential equation from the computational point of view. He/she will have the tools and the capabilities to learn more advanced and specific tools and algorithmic solutions. He/she will have the basis concepts needed for performing the design and analysis of algorithms and for approaching research topics.
Assessment criteria of knowledge
The student will be assessed on his/her demonstrated ability - to discuss the main course contents using the appropriate terminology - to solve exercises - to relate and compare different topics and techniques encountered in the course
