Instructors: Luca Daniel, LIM Kian Meng, Anthony T Patera, Jaime Peraire, Jacob K White

TAs: Tarek Ali El Moselhy, Bo Kim, Ngoc Son Nguyen

Lecture: TR9.30-11 (1-390)

Information:

Introduction to Numerical simulation 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, and chemical engineering, biology, and materials science. Topics include mathematical formulations; network problems; sparse direct and iterative matrix solution techniques; Newton methods for nonlinear problems; discretization methods for ordinary, time-periodic and partial differential equations, fast methods for partial differential and integral equations, techniques for dynamical system model reduction and approaches for molecular dynamics.

Requirements for problem set submission

1) One well-bundled/bound/stapled (no loose papers, please) hard copy of all work that you wish to be graded on must be submitted. It will be collected in the classroom before the start of lecture on the due date. (Note: Read through the "Homework Tips" document on the "Materials" page for tips on presenting your work effectively.)

2) A zipped folder containing all the code files that you implemented, together with a readme file that briefly explains what each of your code files does, must be submitted online through Stellar. (Use the "add submission" link on the page that posts the problem set files.) This should be done before the start of lecture on the due date.

Note for students in Singapore: Instead of a hard copy, your main write-up/report should be included with the code files and the readme file in the zipped folder that you submit via Stellar.
