Numerical methods for ODEs
About
In the course, you will learn about numerical methods for ODEs, such as Runge-Kutta methods and their linear stability analysis. You will also learn to implement and use various numerical methods for ODEs and geometric integrators.
Depending on the participants’ interests, more specialized topics will be covered, such as numerical methods for stiff problems, geometric numerical methods, Lie group integrators, or geometric mechanics.
The course is given every other year, in the spring semester in even-numbered years.
