Course description and aims

To understand 3-dimensional hyperbolic geometry via computational methods. The main topic of this lecture is so-called verified computation, which enables us to prove mathematical theorems by using numerical computation.

Student learning outcomes

Understand the basics of verified computation.

Keywords

Verified computation, interval arithmetic, Newton's method, fixed point theorems

Competencies that will be developed

Specialist skills Intercultural skills Communication skills Critical thinking skills Practical and/or problem-solving skills

Class flow

Out-of-Class Study Time (Preparation and Review)

To enhance effective learning, students are encouraged to spend approximately 100 minutes preparing for class and another 100 minutes reviewing class content afterwards (including assignments) for each class.
They should do so by referring to textbooks and other course material.
