Learning Outcomes

Learning outcomes	The course is an introduction to the basic analytical and numerical methods of applied mathematics. The objectives of the course are: Development of the theoretical background of the postgraduate student in matters relating to Applied Mathematics. Ability of the student to apply analytical, approximate and numerical methods in problems of Mathematics, Physics and Engineering. Upon completion of the course the graduate student will be able to solve problems with analytical, approximate or numerical methods and further deepen the understanding of such methods.
General Competences	Adapting to new situations Decision-making Working independently Team work

Syllabus
