By the end of the course, the students will be able to
- implement all the numerical methods studied using MATLAB
In Calculus:
- identify whether a given formula is a function or not
- determine the inverse of a function if exists
- draw a function of a single or more variables and common graphs
- draw and solve basic trigonometric, exponential and logarithmic functions
- evaluate basic limits
- define the formal meaning of continuity and differentiability
- calculate the derivatives of a function by analytic and numerical methods
- solve implicit differentiation problems
- find the roots and critical points (minimum and maximum points) of a function by using analytical and numerical techniques
- find the linear or higher order approximation of a function
- evaluate basic single and double integrals
In Linear algebra:
- translate a verbal statement of variables in the form of a linear equations
- formulate and solve a system of linear equations
- calculate the determinant and inverse of a matrix
- define a vector and a subspaces
- prove basic linear algebra properties and equations
- find the Eigenvalues and Eigenvectors of a square matrix
- formulate and solve basic least square problems (quadratic optimization)
