Overview
Partial differential equations (PDEs) provide a natural mathematical description for many phenomena of interest in science and engineering. Such equations are often difficult or impossible to solve using purely analytical (pencil and paper) methods, especially for realistic industrial problems. This course introduces finite difference and finite element methods for elliptic … For more content click the Read More button below.
The course includes a substantial practical component dealing with the computer implementation of the algorithms used for solving partial differential equations. This component of the course is supported by a weekly computer lab. In addition, a weekly tutorial class provides exercises on the mathematical content covered in lectures.
The course is intended for students in mathematics programs, or students in science and engineering programs who have a strong mathematical background and an interest in computer modelling.
Note: Students must have some prior experience with computer programming.
