Objective of the course

After completing the course, the student should have obtained the following learning outcome:

The students will have some knowledge within the academic field of partial differential equations, and some of their applications in physics and engineering.

The students will be able to formulate and analyze the problems in terms of weak formulations suitable for solving problems numerically via the Finite Element Method.

Language of instruction

English

Teaching methods

All lectures are pre-recorded on video, and students will be able to follow them via their computer (or laptop /smartphone if you use my Youtube channel).

It is recommended that the students start watching video lectures at 8.15. Those who like, may also meet in the classroom at. 09.15. (to be announced in Canvas)

Here, the teacher will answer questions from the students concerning the topics considered the previous day. Afterwards, the students continue watching video lectures, assisted by the teacher. Normally, students work with this until noon. After lunch, i.e. at. 1 PM, they start with today's exercise and work with this until 4 PM, assisted by the teacher.

All information concerning the course, videos, lecture notes, exercises with solutions, project etc. can be found in Canvas when the course starts.
