Instructor: Luca Daniel

TAs: Nicholas Harris, Po-Hsu Huang

Lecture:  MW1-2.30  (32-141)        

Information: 

This course is an introduction to computational techniques for the simulation of a large variety of engineering and physical systems. Applications are drawn from aerospace, mechanical, electrical, chemical engineering, biology, and materials science. Topics include mathematical formulations (techniques for automatic assembly of mathematical problems from physics' principles); sparse, direct and iterative solution techniques for linear systems; Newton and Homotopy methods for nonlinear problems; discretization methods for ordinary, time-periodic and partial differential equations; accelerated methods for integral equations; techniques for automatic generation of compact dynamical system models and model order reduction

Pset5, Problem 1 Correction

For PSet 5 Problem 1.3, you may plot the temperature distribution at times (0.025, 0.05, 0.1, 0.2, 0.5, 1 and 3) instead of (0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5). The solution will reach a steady state before 1 so the suggested plotting in the problem will not show the dynamical change of the distribution.

The posted Pset on Stellar has been updated. Please download the latest version.
