Applied Numerical Methods

The course gives you knowledge about how to formulate, use, analyse, and implement advanced computer oriented numerical methods to solve problems in numerical algebra and differential equations from different application areas.

The course covers:

  • numerical treatment of ordinary and partial differential equations;
  • numerical solution of large linear systems of algebraic equations;
  • solution of differential equations with discretization by difference methods and finite element methods;
  • solution of linear systems of equations by direct and iterative methods;
  • orientation about mathematical modeling and about software for scientific computing.

This course is given jointly with KTH, and you can find more information about the schedule, course literature etc. on KTH's pages - see links below.
