This is an introductory course on numerical methods for ordinary and partial differential equations. It includes the construction, analysis and application of numerical methods for:
• Initial value problems in ODEs
• Boundary value problems in ODEs
• Initial-boundary value problems in PDEs with one space dimension.

Approximately four weeks are spent on each topic.

Grading: Please consult your instructor's syllabus regarding any and all grading guidelines.

Homework:

All homework must be submitted online, by uploading your PDF file to Black- board. Submissions on paper will not be accepted. All pages of your homework assignment must be in a single PDF file.
