No main field.
This course is included in Materials Science: Master Programme (two years).
The course objective is for the student to develop knowledge and skills in technical programming with a focus on application within numerical analysis.
Knowledge and understanding
Once the course is completed, the student shall:
- demonstrate knowledge of the programming element in Python; and
- demonstrate understanding of how programming can be applied to solve problems within numerical analysis.
Skills and abilities
Once the course is completed, the student shall:
- demonstrate the skills to write and develop programs in Python;
- demonstrate the ability to develop programs to solve problems within numerical analysis;
- demonstrate the ability to detect errors in the implemented numerical methods; and
- demonstrate the ability to describe and document the results of a programming project.
Judgement and approach
Once the course is completed, the student shall:
- demonstrate the ability to critically investigate and evaluate performance and the suitability of a program to solve problems within numerical analysis.
Lectures and computer laboratory sessions and independent study.
Requirements for pass (grade A-E): Passed programming assignments (2.5 credits), passed project work with passed oral exam (5 credits).
The final grade is based on programming assignments and project work which are weighted.
The University provides students who are taking or have completed a course with the opportunity to share their experiences of and opinions about the course in the form of a course evaluation that is arranged by the University. The University compiles the course evaluations and notifies the results and any decisions regarding actions brought about by the course evaluations. The results shall be kept available for the students. (HF 1:14).
When a course is no longer given, or the contents have been radically changed, the student has the right to re-take the examination, which will be given twice during a one year period, according to the syllabus which was valid at the time of registration.
The syllabus is a translation of a Swedish source text.
