Lecture Thu., 12:15–13:45 KP/TP 304 Start: 12.10.2017 Tutorials Thu., 12:15–13:45 KP/TP 304 Start: on arrangement Credit
The mere attendance of the lecture is valued at 2 CP. If the tutorials are completed as well (> 70 %), 3 CP are awarded. For this, the solutions to the problems must be handed in before the next lecture. If needed, a grade can also be awarded based on the solved problems.
Contents & literature
Contents of the lecture
The lecture treats numerical methods for the solution of ordinary and partial differential equations which describe structure formation in systems far from stability.
