Prerequisites: Linear Algebra and Applications, Analysis on Rn, Complex Analysis, Numerical Analysis, EDO’s and EDP’s.

Numerical analysis of hyperbolic partial differential equations. Numerical solution of convection equations (eg the wave equation) through the Finite Difference Method (FDM). Notions of consistency and stability. Stability analysis via the dispersion equation. The von Neumann stability analysis. Fourier analysis with grid functions, “aliasing” and the Poisson summation formula. Notions of numerical dissipation, numerical dispersion and the modified differential equation. Lax equivalence theorem. Numerical solution of problems with discontinuities. Numerical solution of Conservation Laws. 
Numerical Analysis of parabolic differential equations. Numerical solution of the diffusion equation (eg heat) by the FDM and spectral methods.
