Syllabus Information

5.1. Methodological overview

Lectures are complemented with problem sessions, where the concepts are trained with practical cases.  The different computational methods and algorithms are performed in a scientific programming language, checking the different algorithms and methods with test problems.

Individual study, complemented with tutorial sessions, are fundamental in the learning process.
