Topic outline

  • The course is organized remotely. The lectures are prerecorded and published at the Materials section of the course's MyCourses homepage on Mondays and Wednesdays. A platform for discussion and support for solving the exercise problems is provided via a Zulip chat. There will be no actual online exercise sessions, but the assistant will be available on Zulip on Thursdays at 10.15-12.00 (the exercise session time from WebOodi).

    The preferable way to register is via WebOodi.

    The students are assumed to participate actively in the course by weekly returning solutions to exercise problems. Half of the grade is based on the exercises and a half on a "streamlined" final online exam at 9.00-12.00 on Monday, December 7. If the time is inconvenient for you, contact the lecturer and the assistant via email.

    The preliminary timetable is as follows:

    • Week 1: Introduction and motivation
    • Weeks 2-3: Linear multi-step methods
    • Week 4: Runge-Kutta methods
    • Week 5: Parabolic PDEs
    • Week 6: Hyperbolic PDEs
