♦Overview:

This course is devoted to the numerical solution of partial differential equations (PDEs). A PDE is a function of at least two independent variables in which both derivative information and function values may appear. PDEs play a very important role in continuum mechanics for modeling applications in physics, biology, chemistry, finance, mechanical/civil/environmental engineering. The focus in this course is on numerical modeling of PDEs, which allow us to discretize them for computer simulations. We discuss various discretization schemes, design of algorithms and their rigorous numerical analysis. Moreover, we discuss the numerical solution of the arising linear equation systems. This class is an important part of scientific computing eduction in which mathematical modeling, numerical methods, and computer implementations interact.

♦Audience / Prerequisites:

The prerequisites are lectures in calculus, linear algebra and an introduction to numerics. Classes on the theory of ordinary (ODE) or partial (PDE) differential equations are useful but not mandatory. Classes in continuum mechanics may also be helpful, but are also not mandatory.
