On successful completion of the module, students should be able to:
-
solve partial differential equation (initial and boundary value problems) using a variety of methods
-
analyse the stability of differentiation schemes for initial-value problems in partial differential equations
-
outline the principles behind the most commonly used methods for solving systems of linear equations (Gauss-Jordan elimination, conjugate gradient), their advantages and limitations
-
describe and apply the basic principles fo Monte Carlo methods
-
apply the methods and principles learned in MP468C to solve a substantial problem in physics or applied mathematics
-
present their results in a well structured and presented and properly referenced written report.
