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. The entire "pipeline" of simulation is discussed:
- mathematical models: derivation, analysis, and classification
- numerical treatment of these models: discretization of (partial) differential systems, grid generation
- efficient implementation of numerical algorithms: implementation on monoprocessors vs. parallel computers (architectural features, parallel programming, load distribution, parallel numerical algorithms)
- interpretation of numerical results & visualization
- validation
The course Scientific Computing 1 is intended for students in the Master's Program Computational Science and Engineering and of the English-language programs of the Department of Computer Science. Students in all other study programs, please consider our lecture Modellbildung und Simulation (see the lecture from summer term 2008, for example), instead.
Timetable, Lecture Notes, and Material
Exam
- Date of final exam: t.b.a.
- Helping material: t.b.a.
- Exam topics are all topics covered during the lectures. See the catalogue of exam questions and previous years' exams below.
Catalogue of Exam Questions
The following catalogue contain questions collected by students of the lectures in winter 05/06 and 06/07. The catalogue is intended for preparation for the exam, only, and serves as some orientation. It's by no means meant to be a complete collection.
Last Years' Exams
Please, be aware that there are always slight changes in topics between the different years' lectures. Hence, the previous exams are not fully representative for this year's exam.
