Content
The aim of this course is to give an introduction into theory of linear partial differential equations and their finite difference as well as finite element approximations. Finite element methods for approximating partial differential equations have reached a high degree of maturity, and are an indispensable tool in science and technology. We provide an introduction to the construction, analysis, and implementation of finite element methods for different model problems. We will address elementary properties of linear partial differential equations along with their basic numerical approximation, the functional-analytical framework for rigorously establishing existence of solutions, and the construction and analysis of basic finite element methods.
