Computer Practice

Open for UCT

The course is focused on fundamentals of technical computing in common spreadsheet environment (MS EXcel). Featured techniques include: numerical solution of non-linear equations (e.g. by the Solver tool), numerical solution of systems of linear equations via inverse matrices, experimental data fitting using linear/non-linear functions, numerical integration/derivation

Prerequisites: basic user knowledge of MS Windows, basic knowledge of Newton's method, solution of a system of linear equations, derivation and integration. Passing Mathematics I is an advantage, but it is not necessary to complete the course.
