Course content
|
Approximate time schedule: first third of the term - general properties of the mathematical software (MS) and the basic features of its use, the condition of a numerical problem, properties of a finite precision arithmetics; second third - computational environment and its influence on MS, the properties of the machine arithmetics and its effect on MS, reliability and credibility of MS; the final third - properties of quality MS, a more detailed analysis of the topics of the course on the example of MS for automatic quadrature or for automatic solution of ordinary differential equations. During the term the students will be given information on quality MS on the Internet and on other resources that may be useful in the field of MS and scientific computing.
