Announcements

• on June 16, we will restart with a lecture (which replaces the usual tutorial)

Exam

• written exam
• Date: Wed, Jul 16
• Time: 13.30-15.00 - Please make sure to be in the lecture hall by 13:15, as the exam will start precisely at 13.30.
• Place: Interim 2 (black building in front of computer science/math building)
• Duration: 90 min.
• material: no helping material of any kind is allowed during the exam
• Topics: everything that was covered in the lectures and tutorials

Please make sure that you are registered for the exam via TUMOnline!

Old exams are available on the websites of the last years (note that the curriculum of the lecture was extended compared to those exams!):

• [3]

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
• molecular dynamics simulations
  • the physical model
  • the mathematical model
  • approximations and discretization
  • implementational aspects
  • parallelisation
  • examples of nanofluidic simulations

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.
