Course description and aims

Numerical analysis using computer is now important and essential skill for various fields. In this class, computer language Fortran 90/95, which is especially used in large-scale numerical computing, is used. By understanding basic grammar of the computer language and algorithms of major numerical-analysis methods, which are commonly used in research fields, basic programing skill will be acquired.
Through this course, students who don’t have any programming experience are expected to understand algorithms of major numerical-analysis methods and to be able to make basic program for numerical analysis.

Student learning outcomes

By the end of this class, students will be able to:
(1) understand basic grammar of the computer language,
(2) understand algorithms of major numerical-analysis methods, which are commonly used in research fields,
(3) acquire basic skills for applying the numerical analysis techniques to their own problems in their fields.

Keywords

numerical analysis, algorithm, Fortran, programming

Competencies that will be developed

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

Class flow

Basics of programming and algorithms is trained through both lectures and exercises with using terminal of GSIC.

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.
