Contents
Procedures and terms for initial value problems with special problem requirements, such as large, stiff problems, problems with conservation laws. Parallel procedures
Qualification Goals
The students shall
- recognize the limits of the usual standard procedures when special requirements from problems or computer architecture come to the fore,
- to get to know the theoretical background and practical solution approaches for this requirement in order to be able to make a problem-adequate choice of methods in concrete cases,
- to illustrate here how developments in natural sciences and computer science influence applied mathematics,
- practice mathematical working methods (development of mathematical intuition and its formal justification, training of the ability to abstract, proof techniques),
- improve their oral communication skills in the exercises by practicing free speech in front of an audience and during discussion.
Prerequisites
Translation is missing. Here is the German original:
Keine. Empfohlen werden die Kompetenzen, die in den Basismodulen und im Aufbaumodul Numerik vermittelt werden.
Applicability
The module can be attended at FB12 in study program(s)
