This course deals with the numerical analysis issues considered more important and appropriate for the resolution of economic problems using a computer. The aim is to provide students with the minimum numerical and computational techniques necessary for the implementation and resolution of economic problems in computer. Emphasis will be placed on intuition and applicatibility conditions of methods and not on their deductiblility and computer implementation (although in individual cases it can also follow this approach). The aim is also for students to acquire awareness of the potential and limitations of finite precision arithmetic.
Introduction to MATLAB /OCTAVE Finite precision arithmetic Introduction to Programming Linear Systems of equations Systems of nonlinear equations Eigenvalues and eigenvectors Interpolation and least squares Differential equations
The course is organized in lab sessions, based on modules. The teaching methodology in each module is structured as follows: • description of the problem to solve; • identification with explanation of the appropriate numerical methods for their resolution; • examples of application in economics; • exercises (sedimentation and knowledge exploitation).
