MATH 617 Numerical Solutions of Differential Equations

This course focuses on numerical methods for partial differential equations (PDEs), with an emphasis on a rigorous mathematical basis. The fundamentals of numerical approximations and efficient numerical approaches are presented. Particular attention is given to a qualitative understanding of PDE models, the basic concepts of finite differences and finite elements, as well as important concepts such as stability, convergence, and error analysis.
