Summary
Successful solution of the problems arising in engineering requires anunderstanding of relevant mathematics. The students will learn about basic tools and their applications for the solution of such problems.
Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit
Student will understand model partial differential equations, basic methods of approximation of the solution of the boundary value problems, variational equalities and inequalities, their abstract structure and methods of solution. He/she will understand the role of these conceps in applications.
Course Contents
Boundary value problems for ordinary differential equations of the 2nd order.
Finite difference discretization and boundary conditions.
Problems with non-smooth soefficients and/or right hand side.
