Numerical Methods for Partial Differential Equations

3 credits · Graduate

This advanced course introduces the theory and application of numerical methods for partial differential equations for science and engineering. Programming and mathematical analysis of numerical methods are emphasized. Topics include methods for solving linear and nonlinear systems (direct and iterative methods), initial value problems, and boundary value problems (finite difference, spectral, finite volume, and finite element methods). Prerequisite(s): MATH 335-3 or permission of the instructor Preclusion(s): MATH 435-3
