Examination

3 hour computer-based examination, with both programming and theoretical exercises. Parts of the lecture slides, C++ documents, and Eigen documentation will be made available during the examination. More info to come as the date draws nearer.

Midterm and endterm exams:

1. Midterm on April 12, 15:30 - 16:00
2. Endterm on May 24, 15:15 - 15:45

Term exams last 30 minutes, closed book, achieving 100% of the points in a term exam will yield a BONUS of 10% of the points for the session exam. Passing of either term exam is not required for admission to the session exam. Repetition of term exams is not possible.

Aims of the course

Introduce students of Applied Mathematics, Computational Science and Engineering and Computer Science to the most widely used numerical solution methods for ordinary and partial differential equations, their mathematical properties, and their computer implementation.

Students should be able to:

Programming Language: implementations will be done in C++.
