Lab Exercises for Numerical Analysis and Simulation II: PDEs

Organizer

Prof. Dr. M. Ehrhardt

Type

Lab exercises / Programmierpraktikum (2 SWS).

Target audience

The lab exercises are dedicated to participants of the lecture Numerical Analysis and Simulation II: PDEs.
For general information on lab exercises corresponding to the Master programme Mathematics, see the handbook (page 115).

Contents

The lab exercises include the implementation of methods, which are introduced in the lecture Numerical Analysis and Simulation II: PDEs.

Procedure

• There will be four lab exercises in the period April - July 2011. The 3 credit points of this course are achieved if three of the four lab exercises are implemented successfully.
• The exercises can be done in groups of 1-3 persons. Each group will present and explain their implementations at corresponding meetings. A list of possible dates will be provided for each lab exercise.
• There will not be a weekly meeting for all participants. Nevertheless, a weekly office hour will be provided, where questions can be discussed.
