10. Course Goals (acquired competencies): The main purpose of this course is to provide students with an introduction to the field of numerical analysis. In addition to developing competence in the topics, the course aims to further develop the student’s problem-solving skills through the use of numerical methods and to provide a basis for applying the knowledge gained in previous mathematics courses.
Upon successful completion of this course, the student will be able to effectively write mathematical solutions and interpret them in a clear and concise manner and will demonstrate the ability to think critically by analyzing a practical problem and understanding the mathematical basis of the problem
The student will also be able to apply numerical methods to obtain approximate solutions to mathematical and real problems in electrical engineering and to evaluate the accuracy of the obtained numerical solutions. The student will be able to study the solution of a differential equation and develop a practical interpretation of numerical results. The student will be able to understand how problems are generated and prepared to be solved with computer software.

19. Conditions for acquiring teacher’s signature and for taking final exam Аttend classes regularly and take tests.
20. Forms of assessment During the semester, two partial written exams (at most 90 minutes each) are provided, at the middle and at the end of the semester, tests that are conducted during the classes and a project assignment. The student should prepare a project assignment and submit it by the end of the semester.
For students who have passed the partial exams and tests, a final oral exam may be conducted (maximum duration 60 min). The scores from the partial exams, tests, project assignment and the final oral exam are included in the final grade.
A written exam (maximum duration 135 min) is taken in the scheduled exam sessions. For students who have passed the written exam, a final oral exam can be conducted. The scores from the written exam and the final oral exam are included in the final grade.
