DN1242 Numerical Analysis, Supplementary Course 1.5 credits

Additionally to the material presented in the course DN1240 Numerical Methods Basic Course II, the following topics are introduced: operator calculus, difference equations and their application, optimal polynomial interpolation, fast multipole method, Poisson equation in higher dimensions, numerical methods for the heat equation.

The overall goal of this course consists of providing a deeper insight into the mathematical foundations of numerical methods.

After completing the course you are able to

• understand the mathematical background of certain numerical methods,
• investigate critical properties of numerical methods theoretically.

To be announced at the web page for the course at least 4 weeks before the course starts.

• TEN1 - Examination, 1.5 credits, grading scale: A, B, C, D, E, FX, F

Based on recommendation from KTH’s coordinator for disabilities, the examiner will decide how to adapt an examination for students with documented disability.

The examiner may apply another examination format when re-examining individual students.

If the course is discontinued, students may request to be examined during the following two academic years.

In this course all the regulations of the code of honor at the School of Computer science and Communication apply, see: http://www.kth.se/csc/student/hederskodex/1.17237?l=en_UK.
