MAI0106 Numerical Methods for Initial Boundary Value Problems

(This course correspond very closely to CME326 given at iCME Stanford University during Spring 2011.)

• Why should I take this course?

  • It provides advanced knowledge of the numerical treatment of Initial Boundary Value Problems (IBVP's).
  • The ambitious student will reach a research level in scientific computing related to IBVP's
  • The ambitious student will be able to assess the validity of other researchers computational efforts related to IBVP's.
  • Application oriented students using IBVP's will be able to distinguish between numerical errors and physical events.

• News related to the course will be published here !
