Numerical Analysis: Computational Programming with Python

Education facts

Code: NUMA01

<p>The course is a compulsory component of a degree of Bachelor of Science in Mathematics or Physics. The course gives an introduction to programming in Python and has a strong orientation towards mathematics. Python is a modern scripting language with strong ties to Scientific Computing and with powerful scientific libraries like SciPy and Matplotlib.</p><p>The course covers elementary programming concepts (arithmetic expressions, for-loops, logical expressions, if-statements, functions and classes) that are closely connected to mathematical/technical problems and examples, as well as mathematical manipulations (setting up matrices, solving linear problems, solving differential equations, finding roots). </p> <p>Students enrolled in the Bachelor's Programme in Mathematics, Physics, Theoretical Physics and Astronomy are taking this course together with the courses <em>MATA21 Analysis in One Variable</em> and <em>MATA22 Linear Algebra 1</em> during their first semester in Mathematics.</p><p>https://www.maths.lu.se/utbildning/</p>
