Contents

The lab course gives an application oriented introduction to the following topics:

• explicit and implicit time stepping methods for ordinary differential equations
• numerical methods for stationary and instationary partial differential equations
• solvers for large, sparse systems of linear equations
• adaptivity and adaptively refined discretisation grids
• applications from fluid dynamics and heat transfer

Basics in linear algebra and differential calculus are required.
