♦Overview:

This course is devoted to an introduction to numerical modeling and project work done in groups of two/three. The aim is to give a flavor of scientific computing; namely mathematical modeling of physical, technical, etc. processes, development and analysis of numerical algorithms, and their implementation on a computer.


♦Contents:

  1. Introduction to numerical modeling
  2. Numerical methods for ODEs (IVP)
  3. Numerical methods for PDEs (BVP)
  4. Solution of the heat equation (IBVP)
  5. Newton's method for nonlinear problems



♦Short bibliography:

  • Please see the *.pdf version of the lecture notes.



♦Evaluation:

  • Exam in terms of a presentation (15 minutes)
  • In the final evaluation, the results of the project work will be presented in a short presentation including a short written report (approx. 10 pages)
