Lead Lecturer Prof. Dr. Mihail Konstantinov

The aim of the course is to present the foundations of mathematical methods and their implementation in machine arithmetic. The following issues are considered: elements of floating-point machine arithmetic, properties of computational problems, stability of computational algorithms, estimates of the global error in computational processes, elements of numerical linear algebra and numerical mathematical analysis, mathematical calculations using the program system MATLAB. The above themes are illustrated by examples solved in MATLAB environment. During the education the students prepare a course thesis using MATLAB.
