Numerics is a sub-discipline of mathematics that deals with the practical solution of mathematical problems. As a rule, problems are not solved exactly but approximately, for which a sensible compromise between accuracy and computational effort must be found. The first part of the two-semester course focuses on questions of linear algebra such as solving linear systems of equations and determining the eigenvalues of a matrix. Attendance at the accompanying practical exercises ({\em Praktische Übung zur Numerik}) is recommended. These take place every 14 days, alternating with the lecture's tutorial.
