Numerical Methods and Programming

Teaching Methodologies

Direct individualized study:
1 – Resolution of standard exercises, presented in chips;
2 – Works on spreadsheets;
3 – Programming of functions and procedures.
The assessment is designed to measure the degree of satisfaction of each competency.

Learning Results

The purpose of this course is to promote, in the student that successfully completes it, the competencies listed below.
As a result of the learning process, the student:
1. Knows the concepts of both matrix and determinant and their applications for solving linear systems;
2. Uses numerical analysis techniques, to find zeros of functions, uses polynomial interpolation and numerical integration;
3. Uses structured programming and object-oriented languages;
4. Uses the main office software tools.
