Numerical Analysis

Advanced Programming

The course aims to provide advanced knowledge of both theoretical and practical programming in C++11 and Python3, with particular regard to the principles of object-oriented programming and best practices of software development.

Syllabus:

Numerical Solution of PDEs Using the Finite Element Method

The Finite Element Method Using deal.II This is an intensive course that teaches how to use the finite element library deal.II (www.dealii.org).Prerequisites: you should be familiar with C/C++, and with the Unix command line. We'll cover the basics of Finite Element Methods, and go from solving the Laplace equation on a uniformly refined grid, to solving the same equation using adaptively refined grids, in parallel, on a supercomputer.Lectures will be structured in the following way:

Advanced Finite Element Analysis

An advanced course dedicate to the analysis of finite element methods, as found in modern numerical analysis literature. A basic knowledge of Sobolev spaces is expected
