Learning Outcomes

The course belongs to the wider area of Scientific Computing. Scientific calculations are the basis for many fields and an important tool for the study of scientific problems arising from many sciences such as Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Economics etc. Most of these problems lead to the solution of a mathematical problem, for which either there is not always an analytical solution, or if there is it requires complex calculations. The course also includes the implementation of algorithms in a laboratory environment, based on the programming language Python.
