Course details
Higly Sophisticated Computations
VND Acad. year 2019/2020 Summer semester
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.
