Contents

This course provides a deeper knowledge in two important fields of scientific computing:

• solution of large sparse systems of linear equations:
  • Gaussian elemination
  • 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 computer scientists, mathematicians, engineers, or natural scientists with already a background in the numerical treatment of (partial) differential equations.
