Numerical Methods of Applied Mathematics - II: Course Description

This free course is taught by Dr. Plamen Koev from the MIT Department of Mathematics. The prerequisites for 'Numerical Methods of Applied Mathematics - II' include a basic understanding numerical analysis and methods. 'Numerical Mathematics of Applied Science - II' concentrates on the use of partial differential equations as students are introduced to a wide range of advance mathematical topics. The course lectures help students to investigate a variety of advance mathematical topics, including wave equations, systems of differential equations, numerical methods for ODEs and numerical methods for elliptic equations. Students will also analyze the convection-diffusion equation, SOR(w) and the solution of ut + Aux = Bu.

The materials for the OpenCourseWare includes lecture notes and a complete list of assignments that are available in downloadable PDF files. There are also additional tools provided in MATLAB files for students who have access to the required software.
