Announcements

• due to the student assembly, the lecture on Tuesday, May 14, is skipped
• due to a short holiday (Whit Monday/Pentecost), lecture and tutorial on May 20/21 will be skipped
• on Mon 27, we will restart with a lecture (which replaces the usual tutorial)

Exam

• written exam

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 computer scientists, mathematicians, engineers, or natural scientists with already a background in the numerical treatment of (partial) differential equations.
