Numerical Solution of Partial Differential Equations (L.6) (G5217)

15 credits, Level 6

Spring teaching

In this module, you will learn about:

  • the variational formulation of boundary value problems,
  • Sobolev spaces,
  • abstract variational problems
  • the Lax-Milgram Lemma
  • the Galerkin method
  • the finite element method
  • elementary approximation theory
  • error analysis.

We regularly review our modules to incorporate student feedback, staff expertise, as well as the latest research and teaching methodology. We’re planning to run these modules in the academic year 2023/24. However, there may be changes to these modules in response to feedback, staff availability, student demand or updates to our curriculum.

We’ll make sure to let you know of any material changes to modules at the earliest opportunity.
