Aims
The course is aimed at those who are active in computer simulation or are planning to become so. In effect, the student will learn to couple his/her understanding of basic mathematics with numerical methods in order to obtain solutions to engineering problems.
Content
1. Practical problems, models,inverse problems
2. Automatic differentiation and interval arithmetic (INTLAB package)
3. Qualitative studies, singular points, bifurcations
4. Ill-conditionned problems, regularization
5. Shadowing and validation of numerical results
6. Chebfun, LiScM, accdot
