Numerical Methods and Statistics

Summary

Basic problems of the numerical mathematics, errors in computations. Solving of
equation f(x)=0: bisection method, regula-falsi, iterative method, Newton´s
iteration. Numerical solution of systems of linear algebraic equations: LU-factorization, iterative methods, condition number of matrix, ill-conditioned matrices. Interpolation and approximation of functions: polynomial interpolation, interpolation by spline functions, least squares approximation. Numerical integration: Trapezoid rule, Simpson’s rule, Richardson extrapolation. Statistical processing data
with one or more arguments, empirical characteristics of statistical data, testing of hypotheses.
Regression analysis.
