Announcements
- The Repetition exam review will take place on Tuesday, April 15, 15:00-16:00, in room 02.07.023.
- The Repetition exam will take place on Wednesday, April 9, 17:30-19:00.
- The Exam review will take place on Friday, February 21, 13:00-14:00, in room 02.07.023.
- The Q&A session will take place on February, 04, 14:00-16:00 in room 03.13.010.
- On January, 15, instead of a lecture, there will be a tutorial.
- The lecture does not take place on the 30th of October due to the plenary meeting of the student's union.
Contents
The lecture will cover the following topics in scientific computing:
- typical tasks in the simulation pipeline in scientific computing;
- classification of mathematical models (discrete/continuous, deterministic/stochastic, etc.);
- modelling with (systems) of ordinary differential equations (example: population models);
- modelling with partial differential equations (example: heat equations);
- numerical treatment of models (discretisation of ordinary and partial differential equations: introduction to Finite Volume and Finite Element Methods, grid generation, assembly of the respective large systems of linear equations);
- analysis of the resulting numerical schemes (w.r.t. convergence, consistency, stability, efficiency);
An outlook will be given on the following topics:
- efficient implementation of numerical algorithms, both on monoprocessors and parallel computers (architectural features, parallel programming, load distribution, parallel numerical algorithms)
- interpretation of numerical results (visualization)
