General Information:

This is a first course on partial differential equations PDE intended for students following Teknisk Matematik, the International Mathematics Master Program, or E3 at Chalmers, as well as GU students. Of course, students who are not following these programs are also welcome.

Contents: Computation of approximate solutions to various PDE using the Finite Element Method. Interpolation, quadrature, and the solution of large, sparse linear systems. Error estimates. Applications to problems of heat conduction, wave propagation, etc.

The course consists of 35 lecture hours, 21 exercise hours and gives 5 points.
