Innhold

Basic modelling principles and numerical techniques for computing integrals, solving non-linear algebraic equations, solving ordinary and partial differential equations, as well as basic programming skills required for the numerical analysis.

Arbeids- og læringsformer

Lectures, exercises and assignments are used for the campus-based course.

An online, part-time version of the IIA study programme was started Fall 2015 (then denoted SCE - Systems and Control Engineering). An online version of the present course is taught according to the online, part-time EET, IIA, and PT study programmes. The course will continue to be taught as a traditional campus-based course, as well. The course contents and the learning material used in the course will be the same in the online and the campus-based programmes, however with some differences in the organization of the course: In the online version of the course, there are no ordinary lectures. A number of relevant videos produced by the instructor(s), or external videos, are provided, both for the online course and for the campus-based course.

Vurderingsformer

One compulsory project must be graded as "passed" in order to participate in the final test at the end of the semster.

The final test counts 100%.

Det tas forbehold om mindre justeringer i planen.
