Course description and aims

This lecture focuses on the calculation algorithm for the numerical analysis that has been used for research and development. Additionally, this lecture covers the computer programming techniques. Lecture contents are applicable to practical numerical analysis.
The aim of this lecture is to learn the calculation algorithm for the numerical analysis. The numerical analysis is an essential tool for such characterization, simulation, design and operation control, which are necessary to research and development of materials, devices, circuits and systems in electrical and electronic engineering and information communication engineering areas. Principles and features of the calculation algorithm about sorting method, least squares method, numerical differentiation and integration, simultaneous equations, nonlinear equations, and differential equations will be lectured. In addition, basic programming techniques of variables, arithmetic, array, function, branching and loop will be lectured for the implementation of the calculation algorithm. The programming language used in this lecture is MATLAB that is easy to programming the numerical calculation. The ability learned in this lecture will be applicable to use in other lectures, experiments and researches.

Student learning outcomes

At the end of this course, students will be able to:
1) Explain the basic configuration and the mechanism of the computer, which is an execution system of the numerical analysis.
2) Explain basic functions of the program technique, such as variable, arithmetic, array, function, branching, and loop.
3) Programming, execution, and graph drawing using the MATLAB language.
4) Explain the necessity of considering the algorithm that determines the processing speed and functionality limitations even in the same process.
5) Explain the principle and the calculation algorithm of the least squares method, and analyze numerical data using this method.
6) Explain the principles and calculation algorithms of the numerical differentiation and integration, simultaneous equations, nonlinear equations, ordinary differential equations, and partial differential equations, and analyze numerically using these methods.
