Numerical Analysis 7,5 Credits

Course Contents

The course is intended to give the student basic knowledge in numerical approximation. This concerns the approximation of functions, of solutions to ordinary and partial differential equations arising in fluid and solid mechanics, and of integrals in several dimensions. It also concerns the computer implementation of approximation schemes.

The course includes the following elements;
• Interpolation and least squares approximation in several dimensions.
• Numerical integration in several dimensions.
• Explicit and implicit finite difference time stepping methods for ordinary differential equations.
• Finite volume and finite element methods for partial differential equations.

Prerequisites

The applicant must hold the minimum of a bachelor’s degree (i.e the equivalent of 180 ECTS credits at an accredited university) with at least 90 credits in Materials and Manufacturing, Mechanical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Product Development or Engineering Physics or equivalent. The bachelor’s degree should comprise a minimum of 15 credits in mathematics. Proof of English proficiency is required.
