Lecture "Numerical Analysis of Differential Equations" (WS 2026/2027)

Jun.-Prof. Dr. Mira Schedensack
Universität Leipzig
Fakultät für Mathematik und Informatik
Mathematisches Institut


Participants:

This lecture is suitable for students in mathematics (Bachelor, Master, Diploma) and in mathematical physics with the standard knowledge from the introductory lectures and functional analysis. It is possible to attend the lecture functional analysis in parallel.

Content:

Differential equations play an important role in many applications. However, it is usually not possible to find a formula for the exact solution. In this lecture, numerical schemes that approximate the solutions are discussed. The lecture is composed of three parts: The first part is devoted to numerical approximations of ordinary differential equations, the second to finite difference methods of time-dependent partial differential equations, while the third part discusses finite element methods for partial differential equations.

Time of lectures

The lecture will take place on Monday at 11:15-12:45 and Tuesday at 09:15-10:45 and the tutorial classes will take place on Monday at 13:15-14:45. The lecture and the tutorial class will be in SG 3-14.

News

The first lecture will take place on Monday, October 12 at 11:15.
