Announcements
- A Q&A session concerning the exam (focusing on the lectures) will take place on Feb 22, 2017 (Wed), 14:15-15:45, lecture hall MI HS 3 (not the "usual" lecture hall MI HS 2!).
- The lecture on Dec 7 will be cancelled (dies academicus)
- Election of CSE representative: on Nov 30, from 11.30, the CSE students attending the lecture will elect their representative; the lecture will end at 11.30.
- The lecture on Nov 2 will be cancelled due to the students assembly (Fachschaftsvollversammlung)
- The lecture in the first week (on Oct 19) will be cancelled, as the CSE students have an alternate program on this day
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)
