Learning Outcome:After successfully completing the module, students will have extended the knowledge and skills acquired in the previous numerical modules. They will have acquired advanced knowledge for understanding modern simulation methods in a wide variety of areas of science and technology.
Contents:The aim of the module is to introduce advanced methods used in scientific computing. The main part of the course is devoted to the discretization of partial differential equations. 
Among the topics are: The variety of discrete grid types used in discretizations, Finite-Element-Methods, Finite-Volume-Methods, special Finite-Difference-Methods, a variety of time stepping methods for time-dependent partial differential equations, TVD-Schemes for hyperbolic conservation laws, iterative solvers for sparse linear systems of equations.
