| Semester | fall semester 2023 |
| Course frequency | Every fall sem. |
| Lecturers | Volker Roth (volker.roth@unibas.ch, Assessor) |
| Content | This course provides an overview of scientific computing, with special emphasis on optimization, modeling and signal processing. |
| Learning objectives | Students will review important concepts of (numerical) linear algebra and apply different optimization methods to real-world problems in scientific computing. After successful completion, students will be able to... - understand and select different numerical methods for solving systems of equations - solve regression and classification problems as well as ordinary differential equations - understand and solve linear programming problems - select appropriate optimization methods for string- and image alignment problems as well as tree-fitting problems - implement these optimization methods in Python |
