General description | First part is an introduction to Numerical Methods. We present the main techniques about interpolation and curve fitting, and numerical integration. We also study algorithms to obtain numerical solutions of systems of linear and non-linear equations. Second part is devoted to Statistics. We focus our study on exploratory data analysis, Probability and Distribution Theory and Statistical Inference. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

C1 | CMECES1 That students have demonstrated possession and understanding of knowledge in an area of study that is based on general secondary education, and is usually found at a level that, although supported by advanced textbooks, also includes some aspects that involve knowledge from the cutting edge of their field of study |
C4 | CMECES4 That students can transmit information, ideas, problems and solutions to both a specialised and non-specialised audience |
C5 | CMECES5 That students have developed those learning skills necessary to undertake further studies with a high degree of autonomy |

Assessment |
Description | Qualification | ||
Problem solving, classroom exercises | Problem solving | 80% | |
Others | Active class attendance | 10% | |
Other comments and second call | |||
Continuous assessment: _________________________________________ Numerical problem solving test (40%)+Statistical solving test (40%). A minimum grade will be required in order to calculate the final grade. Practicals (10%) Active class attendance (10%). Second call _________________________________________ Problem solving test + practical test (100%) _________________________________________ In all tests: the use of mobile phones and other electronic devices is strictly forbidden, and will result in grade zero. Only the material specifically allowed by the instructors may be used. |
