Section 0101, MWF 1:00 pm - 1:50 pm, Math 0104
Instructor: Bo Li
Office: Math 4304; Phone: 405-5088; E-mail: bli@math.umd.edu
Office hours: by appointment only
General Information
Prerequisites:
Calculus and linear algebra. A basic knowledge of numerical
analysis (e.g., AMSC 460 or AMSC 466) and PDEs (e.g., MATH 462)
will be helpful but not crutial.
Textbooks:
No single textbook will be used. But the following will be the main references.
-
Numerical Solution of Partial Differential Equations, by K. W. Morton and
D. F. Mayers, Cambridge University Press, 1994.
-
Numerical Analysis of Spectral Methods: Theory and Applications,
by D. Gottlieb and S. A. Orszag, SIAM, 1977.
Homework Assignments:
There will be a few homework assignments. Most of them will be
analytical. But, assignments of computer work with Matlab will also be possilbe.
Grading: Based on a few homework assignments.
