Learning outcomes

The course will discuss the theory and practice of approximation of functions and data, in both the univariate and multivariate setting, with an emphasis on splines of various types and interpolation, including subdivsion and other methods for surface reconstruction. A part of the course will be held in a Laboratory setting where some of the techniques presented during the lectures will be implemented in Matlab. At the end of the course the student is expected to be able to demonstrate an in-depth knowledge of the techniques of univariate and multivariate approximation.
