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
None. The competences taught in the following modules are recommended: either Foundations of Mathematics and Linear Algebra I and Linear Algebra II or Basic Linear Algebra, either Analysis I and Analysis II or Basic Real Analysis, Numerical Analysis.
