actors in the market economy; Producing surplus value in a market
economy; Competition and monopoly in the market economy;
Socialist-oriented market economy and economic interest relations in
Vietnam;

element analysis. The course helps students to acquire the
following knowledge: understand the concept of the best
approximation with different spatial standards and how to find
these best approximations. Understand the concept of weak
and classical solutions to elliptic problems with boundary
conditions. Understand the concept of a two-dimensional
partial polynomial approximation and obtain an analytic error
assessment of this approximation. There is an evaluation of
simulation computational problems for the diffusion problem.
Content The course includes approximation theories and applications
to find numerical solutions to linear elliptic partial differential
problems using the finite element method. This method has
been used to solve real problems corresponding to physical
phenomena, such as diffusion, convection, elasticity...
Besides, we emphasize the accuracy evaluation, stability of
approximate solutions using a priori, stable, and posterior
evaluation techniques. Finally, we use the Matlab
programming language to simulate the finite element method
in the diffusion and elasticity problem.

learning outcomes differential equations, it is common to find problem solving tools
based on finite volume and/or finite element methods. Thereby,
these problems, for the most part, are either solved directly, or

as one of the prerequisites for students to study number theory or
work in an industrial environment.

 as nuclear safety, oil and gas exploitation, astronomy, geology,
etc.. The course provides students with the necessary knowledge
in discretizating the partial differential equations (elliptic,
parabolic and hyperbolic) using the finite volume method. The

 Module objectives/intended General objectives: The module provides students with an
learning outcomes overview of numerical analysis applied in industrial problems.
This subject can be considered as a premise for students to get
acquainted with mathematical models, numerical analysis and
computational science. Moreover, the course is considered as a
complement to two important subjects of the major of numerical
analysis: finite volume methods and finite element method.
Intended learning outcomes:
● Knowledge:
The partial differential equations simulate real problems.
Classical mathematical models for industrial problems.
Finite difference method.
Solve and simulate solutions of heat equations and convective
equations on a computer.
Evaluation of experimental results obtained through numerical
methods.

Content Partial differential equations are a main part of industrial

problems. However it is not easy to solve these problems. So this
course introduces to students basic steps of numerical schemes
to solve industrial problems from discretizing the simple partial
differential equations such as: heat equation or diffusion
equation. The key of the course includes two parts: theory and
practice.

Module objectives/intended - Knowledge: The course is designed for students majoring in

learning outcomes Analysis. We will equip students with the basics of convex
analysis, linear programming, and nonlinear programming.
Some typical optimization methods, easy to understand and
implement, will be selected to introduce to students. After
completing this course, students are expected to have mastered
the basics of convex analysis, optimal conditions for
unconstrained and constrained convex optimization problems,
mathematical foundations and fundamental algorithms for
solving linear and nonlinear programming.
- Skills: Basic equipment for students about matlab
programming.

Content Optimization is an important area of study in applied

mathematics. We can understand the optimization problem to
determine the best value of the objective function over a given
domain. In this course, we will introduce students to some typical
numerical methods for solving linear programming,
unconstrained and constrained optimization problems. At the
same time, students can practice using MATLAB to illustrate
some academic examples.
