Aim:
The course aims to give
- basic skills in using mathematical software for future courses where MATLAB is used
- an increased understanding of linear algebra and geometry
After finishing the course the student should be able to
- use built in MATLAB commands for mathematical computations and visualising computed results
- divide complex computational problems into subproblems, and formulate and implement computer algorithms for solving these problems
