Educational objectives In the Part A the student is introduced to the basic notions of the Approximation Theory. These will be suitable selected for studying numerical methods for the solution of Integral equations, developed in the Part B of the same course. Moreover, the case of periodic functions will be extensively treated. An adequate knowledge of Matlab programming will be achieved, as basic tool in the actual understanding of the main topics, Prerequisites The knowledge of the arguments from Calculus and Linear Algebra, Numerical Analysis, from Computer Science and basic Programming in Matlab . Teaching methods Lectures and laboratory programming work . Assessment methods Oral and practical exam Detailed contents Approximation of periodic functions by Fourier sums and Lagrange polynomials Approximation by polynomials in weighted uniform spaces. Gaussian rules over unbounded intervals Product Integration rules for weakly singular integrals skills
