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)
