Identifier Name LP
T-MATH-105837 Introduction to Scientific Computing 8

Competence Certificate

The module will be completed by an oral exam (about 30 min).

Competence Goal

At the end of the course, students

  • are able to develop the interlinking of all aspects of scientific computing using simple examples: from modeling and algorithmic implementation to stability and error analysis.
  • can explain concepts of modeling with differential equations
  • are able to implement simple application examples algorithmically, evaluate the code and present and discuss the results.

Prerequisites

None

Content

  • Numerical methods for initial value problems, boundary value problems, and initial boundary value problems
  • Modelling with differential equations
  • Algorithmic realization of applications
  • Presentation of results of scientific computations

Recommendation

It is strongly recommended that participants have completed the modules "Numerische Mathematik 1 und 2" as well as "Programmieren: Einstieg in die Informatik und algorithmische Mathematik".
