    The main objective of the course is to present the basics of algorithmics. Typical problems in the fields of numerical analysis and operational research are studied with the aim of proposing some simple algorithms for their solution. Generally, the easiest algorithms for a given problem are considered in this course, and additional references are given to the students who are interested in learning more about the topic. Practical exercises are also proposed to the students (7 TPs). At the end of two of such TPs (November 23 and December 7), the students are asked to send me (see email address on main page) the programs they develop (TPs notés). The content of two cours magistraux (November 7 and December 5) is devoted to topics already presented that need to be studied in more details. The final exam will be held on January 4th, from 14 o'clock to 16 o'clock (batiment 24, salle d'examens).
