Learning objectives:
To provide overview and basics of practical use of selected methods for numerical solutions of differential equations (based on the Taylor Series Method) for extremely exact and fast solutions of sophisticated problems.
Description:
The course is aimed at practical methods of solving problems encountered in science and engineering: large systems of differential equations, algebraic equations, partial differential equations,stiff systems, problems in automatic control, electric circuits, mechanical systems, electrostatic and electromagnetic fields. An original method based on a direct use of Taylor series is used to solve the problems numerically. The course also includes analysis of parallel algorithms and design of special architectures for the numerical solution of differential equations. A special simulation language TKSL is available.
Knowledge and skills required for the course:
