Applied Numerical Analysis (L.7) (852G1)
Applied Numerical Analysis (L.7)
Module 852G1
Module details for 2025/26.
15 credits
FHEQ Level 7 (Masters)
Module Outline
This module will equip students with further knowledge in numerical analysis. The module will cover the convergence analysis of fixed point methods, numerical integration, and standard methods for the numerical solution of ODEs. Throughout the module, students will gain an understanding of how computers are able to solve a variety of mathematical problems.
Module learning outcomes
Systematically analyse the convergence properties of advanced iterative methods
Implement and apply advanced iterative methods to solve linear and nonlinear problems
Comprehensively analyse the convergence and stability properties of advanced time-stepping methods
Conduct comprehensive error analysis
Creatively implement and apply time-stepping methods to solve ODE's and time-dependent PDE's including boundary value problems

Please note that the University will use all reasonable endeavours to deliver courses and modules in accordance with the descriptions set out here. However, the University keeps its courses and modules under review with the aim of enhancing quality. Some changes may therefore be made to the form or content of courses or modules shown as part of the normal process of curriculum management.
The University reserves the right to make changes to the contents or methods of delivery of, or to discontinue, merge or combine modules, if such action is reasonably considered necessary by the University. If there are not sufficient student numbers to make a module viable, the University reserves the right to cancel such a module. If the University withdraws or discontinues a module, it will use its reasonable endeavours to provide a suitable alternative module.
