As the core of simulation is the implementation of mathematical structures into software this course requires some knowledge from previous mathematics, in particular from linear algebra.
If you feel that there could be some gaps start early to revise matrix calculus and close them. The first week of the Semester is a good time for that.
Check if you are familiar with the following topics:
- Vectors: Notation, length of a vector (norm), scalar (dot) product, vector product (cross product)
- Matrices: Notation, unit matrices, diagonal matrices, square matrices, transpose of a matrix, matrix calculus, in particular matrix multiplication, vector-matrix multiplication, manipulation of matrices, rank of a matrix, determinant, singular matrices, inverse of a matrix
- Functions: Polynomials, trigonometric functions etc., zero points (roots), monotony, tangents, min/max, curvature; integration, differentiation
Consult one of your old math books for further reading if necessary.

Matlab is a high-level mathematics programming environment and used a lot in engineering and the sciences. We will spend about two weeks to cope with the basic functionalities.
-
We discuss important techniques of data Analysis which are related to systems of coupled linear equations.

This is a short example of some typical previous exam question in numerics. You should be able to complete it in 20 min.
Note that I did not use inline functions. Feel free to use anonymous function definitions. For plotting, check the plot3 help first.

A periodic function which meets the Dirichlet conditions can be represented by a Fourier series. We discuss the calculation of Fourier coefficients.
