MAT 460 Numerical Differential Equations

As part of the class MAT 460 "Numerical Differential Equations", students work on projects from physics, engineering or anything else that can be modeled by ordinary or partial differential equations. They model the problem, learn and implement appropriate numerical methods, and interpret the results. Projects are from classical mechanics (spring-mass or spring-body systems, bending of a beam or a plate), fluid dynamics and thermodynamics (wave equation, heat conduction, convection-diffusion transport) quantum mechanics, chemical reactions, finances, or similar.
