Overarching aims of this course
- Develop a critical approach to all steps in a project, which methods are most relevant, which natural laws and physical processes are important. Sort out initial conditions and boundary conditions etc.
- This means to teach you structured scientific computing, learn to structure a project.
- A critical understanding of central mathematical algorithms and methods from numerical analysis. In particular their limits and stability criteria.
- Always try to find good checks of your codes (like solutions on closed form)
- To enable you to develop a critical view on the mathematical model and the physics.
