Numerical Analysis Of Differential Equations

Catalog description

Cat. II This course is concerned with the development and analysis of numerical methods for differential equations. Topics covered include: well-posedness of initial value problems, analysis of Euler’s method, local and global truncation error, Runge-Kutta methods, higher order equations and systems of equations, convergence and stability analysis of one-step methods, multistep methods, methods for stiff differential equations and absolute stability, introduction to methods for partial differential equations. Recommended background: MA 2071 and MA 3457/CS 4033. An ability to write computer programs in a scientific language is assumed. This course will be offered in 2020-21, and in alternating years thereafter.
