SHORT ADVANCED PROGRAMME
Numerical Methods with Python Programming – 2nd edition
22 April 2024
Jointly coordinated by the Polytechnic University of Leiria (IPLeiria) and the Technological University of the Shannon (TUS), the Short Advanced Programme (SAP) ‘Numerical Methods with Python Programming’ will introduce numerical methods to undergraduate and postgraduate students with some basic Python programming language skills and some mathematics skills in differentiation and integration.
The students will acquire general skills in elementary numerical analysis, and knowledge and techniques associated with problems and engineering sciences applications.
In this SAP we propose the use of the Python framework provided by Anaconda and the teaching will be supported by Jupyter Notebook.
Students should have some prior knowledge of working with a computer, editing files, and downloading and installing software.
It is assumed that if the students use their computers in class, they will already have installed the Anaconda framework on their computers.
Date
From 7 June to 26 July 2024
Face-to-face week
From 22 to 26 July at the IPLeiria, Portugal
Mode of delivery
Blended
Language of instruction
English
Academic recognition
To be defined by each home higher education institution.
Generally, most students will have this SAP certified in their diploma supplement, as a minimal condition
Eligible participants
All RUN-EU undergraduate and postgraduate students.
