Please note! Course description is confirmed for two academic years, which means that in general, e.g. Learning outcomes, assessment methods and key content stays unchanged. However, via course syllabus, it is possible to specify or change the course execution in each realization of the course, such as how the contact sessions are organized, assessment methods weighted or materials used.

LEARNING OUTCOMES

You will familiarize yourself with the basic properties of initial value problems for systems of ordinary differential equations. You will learn the fundamental theory about linear multistep methods (definition, consistency, zero-stability, convergence) and Runge-Kutta methods (definition, order conditions, convergence). You will learn to identify a stiff system and to understand the difference between explicit and implicit numerical schemes. You will understand the signifigance of absolute stability and A-stability, and know how to examine the region of absolute stability for a given numerical method. You will familiarize yourself with simple parabolic and hyperpolic initial/boundary value problems and learn how to discretize them with the help of difference schemes. You will practice implementing the introduced methods numerically.
