This course addresses graduate students of all fields who are interested in numerical methods for partial differential equations. Many modern and efficient approaches are presented, after fundamentals of numerical approximation are established. It particularly focus on a qualitative understanding of the considered partial differential equation, fundamentals of finite difference, finite volume, finite element, and spectral methods, and important concepts such as stability.
Assessment
This course does not involve any written exams. Students need to answer 5 assignment questions to complete the course, the answers will be in the form of written work in pdf or word. Students can write the answers in their own time. Each answer need to be 200 words (1 Page). Once the answers are submitted, the tutor will check and assess the work.
