Learning Outcomes

Learning outcomes

After successful end of this course, students will be able to:

  • understand the basic theory of approximation in spaces of functions,
  • be aware and apply the taught methods for best uniform polynomial approximation, least squares polynomial approximation of functions defined in an interval (continues case), as well as of functions defined in a set of points (discrete case),
  • be aware and apply the taught methods for cubic splines polynomial interpolation,
  • implement the above methods with programs on the computer.
