Scientific Computing II



Announcements

  • on Tue, Apr 25 (10-12, MI HS 2), there will be a lecture replacing the one on May 1.

Contents

This course provides a deeper knowledge in two important fields of scientific computing:

  • iterative solution of large sparse systems of linear equations:
    • relaxation methods
    • multigrid methods
    • steepest descent
    • conjugate gradient methods
    • preconditioning
  • molecular dynamics simulations
    • particle-based modelling (n-body simulation)
    • algorithms for efficient force calculation
    • parallelisation

The course is conceived for students in computer science, mathematics, or some field of science or engineering who already have a certain background in the numerical treatment of (partial) differential equations.

Lecture Slides

Lecture slides will be published here. For future lectures, the respective slides from summer 2016 will be linked.

Exercises

See the Moodle course.
