ACMS 50052 - Numerical PDE Techniques for Scientists and Engineers II

Institution:

University of Notre Dame

Subject:

Applied & Comp Math and Stats

Description:

Partial Differential Equations (PDEs) are ubiquitous in science and engineering and are usually discussed in courses as analytic solutions for specialized cases. In PHYS 50051, students saw an overview of PDEs and were taught basic methods for their solution. Emphasis was on the theory underlying the numerical solution of PDEs and providing hands-on experience with computer codes. For background, students were expected to have some computer literacy at the level of familiarity with the Linux operating system and Fortran. The text was the first half of a book in development, written by the instructor. This second course will cover the second half of the text, with topics ranging from stiff source terms in hyperbolic PDEs to multigrid methods and Krylov subspace methods for elliptic and parabolic PDEs and adaptive mesh refinement. Interested advanced undergraduates and graduate students from applied mathematics, engineering, and the sciences may take the second course without having taken the first one.
