Aim
The aim of the course is to:- Provide knowledge of how to use mathematical software for numerical computations and to give an introduction to some of the computing facilities at Chalmers.
- Provide an understanding of how the programming language Python can be used as a tool for numerical calculations and visualization.
Learning outcomes (after completion of the course the student should be able to)
- use Matlab as a tool for numerical computations and visualization- use the Symbolic Math Toolbox in Matlab as a tool for basic symbolic calculations
- use the computer system at Chalmers and some of the tools available
- write reports including formulas and graphics
- understand how Python can be used for numerical computations and basic visualization
