Numerical Methods in Differential Equations

Numerical methods
in differential equations

Course for master students, Faculty of Electronics
Lectures are held on Fridays, -
Accompanying labs are held also on Fridays.

1. Organization of the course/Syllabus

Attendance at lectures and classes is obligatory (one or two absences without excusing are allowed). Grading policy: your final grade will be formed on the basis of the sum of all points you will get for your tasks on labs according to the rule given in the following table, where the number M is equal to the amount of all possible points you will can get

ndst dst dst+ db db+ bdb
[0 - 50% M) [50% - 60% M) [60% - 70% M) [70% - 80% M) [80% - 90% M) [90% - 100% M]

For those of you who will want to improve your final grade there will be organized a test (in writing) of knowledge on theoretical aspects of the numerical methods in differential equations. It will take place on

(to be given)
