Prof. Dr. Chr. Zenger

Prof. Dr. H.-J. Bungartz

This lecture is joint work with the lecture Introduction to Scientific Computing, given at the University of Stuttgart.

Audience: Students in Computational Science and Engineering (CSE, compulsory course)

Time and Place: Wednesday 10:15-11:45, lecture hall 2705A

Contents:

This course provides an overview of scientific computing, i. e. of the different tasks to be tackled on the way towards powerful numerical simulations. Starting from mathematical models (derivation, analysis, and classification; various examples), their numerical treatment is discussed (discretization of differential systems, grid generation). The next chapter deals with the efficient implementation of numerical algorithms, both on monoprocessors and parallel computers (architectural features, parallel programming, load distribution, parallel numerical algorithms). Finally, some remarks on the interpretation of numerical results (visualization) are made. The course is conceived as an introduction to the thriving field of numerical simulation for computer scientists, mathematicians, engineers, or natural scientists without an already strong background in numerical methods.
