Student supplements knowledge of numerical differentiation, integration and numerical solving of ODE equations. By solving homeworks the obtained theoretical knowledge is consolidated.

Knowledge and understanding: Understanding methods for numerical integration and ordinary differential equations. Ability of numerical solving of initial and boundary value problems with the help of computers. Capability of choosing the most appropriate algorithm according to some features of the problem.
Application: Numerical computing of integrals ans numerical solving of ODE equations using a computer and error estimation based on theory. Problems that can not be solved any other way that numerically occurs very often
in practise (physics, mechanics, chemistry, economy...).
Reflection: Understanding of theory through applications.
Transferable skills: Skill of using computer for solving numerical problems. Understanding differences between exact and numerical computing. Knowledge of analysis and other fields of mathematics is constructively upgraded.
