IAM 962 (01) - Numerical Partial Differential Equations

Numerical analysis applied to partial differential equations. Initial topics include the implementation of finite difference and spectral methods applied to the heat equation, wave equation, Burger's equation, and other model equations. The remainder of the course treats numerical analysis, starting with a brief review of function spaces. The primary topics include approximation theory for Sobolov spaces, projection operators, completeness, convergence, and error estimates.
