Numerical Methods for Partial Differential Equations (SMA 5212), Spring 2003
(Complete Item Description)
- Abstract:
Covers the fundamentals of modern numerical techniques for a wide range of linear and nonlinear elliptic, parabolic, and hyperbolic partial differential and integral equations. Topics include: mathematical formulations; finite difference, finite volume, finite element, and boundary element discretization methods; and direct and iterative solution techniques. The methodologies described form the foundation for computational approaches to engineering systems involving heat transfer, solid mechanics, fluid dynamics, and electromagnetics; and engineering systems such as finance, traffic flow, and performance analysis of stochastic systems. Computer assignments requiring programming.
