APM 6334 - Numerical Methods for Partial Differential Equations

(4 credits)

A study of major numerical techniques used to solve initial and boundary value problems for partial differential equations. Includes finite difference schemes, Rayleigh-Ritz and Galerkin methods, projection and steepest descent methods and finite element methods. The stability, efficiency and convergence of such methods will be considered as well as their implementation. Formerly APM 634.

Prerequisite(s): Student must meet prerequisites (APM 5333 and APM 5557).

Course revisions made after the Graduate Catalog publication date will be posted in the Graduate Catalog Addendum.
