Numerical Methods for Hyperbolic Equations (Summer Semester 2019)
- Lecturer: Prof. Dr. Willy Dörfler
- Classes: Lecture (0160800), Problem class (0160810)
- Weekly hours: 3+1
Master Mathematics, Technical Mathematics, Economical Mathematics
We present basic theory for equations in conservation form and the fundamental principle to derive numerical methods. As an application we focus on compressible flow equations and Maxwell equations.
Requirements: Numerical methods for Differential Equations.

Introductionary course
There will be a short course in 'Basics in Finite Elements' and 'Solving Linear Equations' by Dr. Anzt and me. It is a course in the new KIT-Centre MATHSEE and is designed for engineers. This course will replace the dates in the first week and is recommended as an introduction.
Dates: Wed/Thu 24./25.4.2019, 14:00-17:15.
