Hours

24L/12T

Finite Difference and Finite Element methods for boundary value problems including 2-point boundary value problems and 2-dimensional problems. Convergence of methods. Efficiency of the solution of linear systems. Finite difference methods for initial value problems. Consistency, stability and convergence. Method of lines. Special topics of interest among domain decomposition, multigrid, FFT solvers. Ordinarily offered in years alternating with CSC466H1.

Traditional Land Acknowledgement

We wish to acknowledge this land on which the University of Toronto operates. For thousands of years it has been the traditional land of the Huron-Wendat, the Seneca, and the Mississaugas of the Credit. Today, this meeting place is still the home to many Indigenous people from across Turtle Island and we are grateful to have the opportunity to work on this land.
