MathematicsCredits
This course is an in-depth study of solving ordinary differential equations and partial differential equations numerically. Runge-Kutta methods and general multi-step methods are developed for ordinary differential equations. Finite Difference Method and Finite Element methods are developed for partial differential equations. Error control and step size changing for both stiff and non-stiff equations are analyzed.
