CB1. Students have demonstrated possession and understanding of knowledge in an area of study that builds on the foundation of general secondary education, and is usually at a level that, while relying on advanced textbooks, also includes some aspects that involve knowledge from the cutting edge of their field of study. CB2. Students are able to apply their knowledge to their work or vocation in a professional manner and possess the competences usually demonstrated through the development and defence of arguments and problem solving within their field of study. CB3. Students have the ability to gather and interpret relevant data (usually within their field of study) in order to make judgements which include reflection on relevant social, scientific or ethical issues. CB4. Students should be able to communicate information, ideas, problems and solutions to both specialist and non-specialist audiences. CB5. Students will have developed the learning skills necessary to undertake further study with a high degree of autonomy. CG1.

1- Introduction to MATLAB and to floating point arithmetic. 2- Numerical solution of linear systems and least squares problems in MATLAB. 3- Interpolation in MATLAB. 4- Numerical solution of nonlinear equations in MATLAB. 5- Quadrature in MATLAB. 6- Solving ordinary differential equations in MATLAB.

This is a "hands on" course. Students follow the explanations of the instructor performing in real time the exercises, examples and other proposed activities in the computer. Thus the course takes place in the computer Lab while the students run MATLAB simultaneously to the explanations of the instructor. In addition, every three weeks, a computing long problem related to the subject will be proposed to the students. The students will have one week to solve it using MATLAB and return it to the instructor for evaluation. Officce hours will follow the rules of Universidad Carlos III de Madrid and intend to solve doubts of individual students.
