1.For selected subjects from classical Numerical Analysis, take real world applications that these methods address. For each subject find and demonstrate an appropriate computation tool, implement the solution, visualize and present the results. Discuss errors involved.
2. Good practices in scientific programming. Approaches for reusable software. Planning, documentation and software project management.
3. Visualization tools. Blackbox approaches. Libraries.
