Aims of the course

The course gives a comprehensive introduction into the numerical treatment of linear and non-linear elliptic boundary value problems and related eigenvalue problems and parabolic evolution problems. Emphasis is on theory and the foundations of numerical methods. Practical exercises involve Matlab implementation of finite element methods.

Participants of the course will become familiar with:

Note: "available online" applies to users in the ETH domain (student computers / ETH WiFi / VPN)

Matlab links

ETH students can download Matlab with a free network license from Stud-IDES

Matlab tutorials, etc.

Python 2.7

Programming problems can be submitted either in Python 2.7 or in Matlab. Python is free (even if you are not a student) and easy to learn but more efficient and universal than Matlab.

Find here the Python tutorial for ETH students and here the official Python tutorial.

Relevant packages are NumPy, SciPy and MatPlotLib for plotting.

Find here a short comparison between Matlab and Python.
