Learning Outcomes of UE

Recognise the different type of numerical problems. Apply the correct numerical methods to solve those problems. Discuss the advantages, disadvantages and limitations of the various numercial methods. Understand and explain why those methods work. Recognise an ill posed problem. Recognise an ill conditionned problem. Implement the numercial methods in Matlab. Write numerical code on paper before implementing it in the computer.
