Students who have completed this course understand basic concepts, methods, and techniques of scientific computing. They are able to answer simple scientific questions using computer simulations. They know procedures for discretizing models and numerical algorithms for solving them. They are aware of the need for efficient solution procedures and implementations. Furthermore, they are able to select suitable approaches themselves.

The course will cover the following topics: 

1. How to translate a physical problem into a mathematical model?
2. Basic methods for solving the resulting mathematical models with a computer.
3. Interpretation of the obtained data. 
4. How computers work (CPUs, memory, caches, etc.) and the resulting consequences for efficient implementation of algorithms.

In the course, all the content learned will be implemented directly on the computer.
