Spring
Objectives and Content
The course looks at the whole process within computational science from the formulation of a physical model, to estimation of mathematical properties of the model and to the choice of numerical methods to be used and finally to simulation of the model in a numerical experiment. The course gives insight into programming, graphical plotting of results and experience with advanced computers. The course includes compulsary exercises with emphasis on practical aspects of the methods.
