SoSe 17: Basismodul: Numerik III
Volker John
Additional information / Pre-requisites
Comments
Mathematical modelling of spatial or spatial/temporal phenomena such as flows, solidification of melts, weather prediction, etc. typically leads to partial differential equations (pdes). The course will concentrate on elliptic pdes. In the first part, finite difference methods will be discussed. The main part of the course will focus on finite element methods and their analysis.
Prerequisites for this course are basic knowledge in calculus (Analysis I-III) and Numerical Analysis (Numerik I). Some knowledge in Functional Analysis is useful.
This course is suited for BMS students.
