Mathematical Software
0MS FSI 0MS Acad. year 2020/2021 Summer semester 3 credits
Students learn to work with MATLAB. The algoritmization, based on the use of specific resources provided by MATLAB, is gradually discussed. The teaching takes the form of demonstrations and experimenting on the computer. Students will verify the level of reached knowledge by the processing of two semestral projects.

Subject specific learning outcomes and competences
Students learn to use the MATLAB environment. They verify the acquired knowledge by the processing of two semestral projects.
Learning objectives
The aim of the course is to teach programming in MATLAB and to create user-friendly applications with an efficient use of the built-in tools. This is done by gradually acquiring practical MATLAB, which leads to the processing of the assigned unassisted projects.
Prerequisite knowledge and skills
Basics of programming, fundamentals of linear algebra.
Syllabus of numerical exercises
