CME325  Numerical Approximations of Partial Differential Equations in Theory and Practice
Winter, 2008

General Information

• Time and location:
  • Hewlett103. Click here for direction
  • 12:35pm-2:05pm PST on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from January 31 to March 8

• Course description: The course deals with finite volume and finite difference methods for initial boundary value problems in multiple space dimensions. Special emphasis will be given to the formulation of boundary conditions for both the continuous and the discrete problem. The course will cover analysis of numerical methods with respect to stability, accuracy and error behavior, as well as techniques of treating non-rectangular domains, and effects of non-regular grids.
