Content, Learning Outcome and Preconditions
Content
Numerical solution of stiff ordinary differential equations (stability domains, stability concepts, one- and multi-step methods for stiff problems).
Introduction to the numerical solution of partial differential equations (finite differences, finite elements, method of lines). Focus on problems in one space dimension, 2D for elliptic boundary value problems.
Iterative solvers for systems of linear equations.

Iterative solvers for systems of linear equations.
Learning Outcome
After successful completion of the module the students are able to understand and apply numerical solution techniques for stiff ordinary differential equations and numerical methods for the solution of partial differential equations. They have programming skills and are able to handle corresponding software.
