Objectives and competences
Ability to model trajectories and fields. Acquaintance and selection of efficient and stable algorithms.
Intended learning outcomes
Knowledge and understanding:
Knowledge of model procedures in integrating trajectories in vector fields, set of methods to model potentials.
Application:
The ability to model and integrate fields.
Reflection:
Understanding the relation between the physical phenomenon and its model; the reflection of complexity.
Transferable skills:
Presentation of data and the results of their model analysis; more complex data visualisations. Ability to handle computer algorithms with large time and memory requirements.
Learning and teaching methods
Lectures, exercises, homework, consultations.
Assessment
A total score of weekly projects, plus the score of the final project
grading: 5 (fail), 6-10 (pass) (according to the Statute of UL)
