The course equips students with practical numerical methods for solving ordinary and partial differential equations. The methods are derived mathematically rigorously. The convergence of the methods is analyzed together with their error estimates in terms of the discretization parameters. Stability of the methods will be introduced.
Upon successfully completing this course, you should be able to:
A recap of Numerical Analysis I
The forward Euler methods: derivation of the method from approximation of derivative, convergence rate in terms of the step size, asymptotic error formula
Euler method for systems of differential equations
Backward Euler and trapezoidal methods, absolute statility of the methods
Taylor methods
Explicit and implicit Runge Kutta methods
Multistep methods: explicit Adams-Bashforth methods and implicit Adam-Moulton methods
Revision of variable separation method for solving partial differential equations
Finite difference methods for the heat equation: derivation of the explicit and implicit methods, Crank-Nicholson method, error analysis, analysis of the stability condition, von Neumann stability, Lax equivalence theorem
Finite difference methods for the wave equation
Finite difference methods for elliptic equations

Academic Integrity & Collaboration Policy
Good academic work depends on honesty and ethical behaviour. The quality of your work as a student relies on adhering to the principles of academic integrity and to the NTU Honour Code, a set of values shared by the whole university community. Truth, Trust and Justice are at the core of NTU’s shared values.
As a student, it is important that you recognize your responsibilities in understanding and applying the principles of academic integrity in all the work you do at NTU. Not knowing what is involved in maintaining academic integrity does not excuse academic dishonesty. You need to actively equip yourself with strategies to avoid all forms of academic dishonesty, including plagiarism, academic fraud, collusion and cheating. If you are uncertain of the definitions of any of these terms, you should go to the academic integrity website for more information. Consult your instructor(s) if you need any clarification about the requirements of academic integrity in the course.
Collaboration is encouraged for your homework because peer-to-peer learning helps you understand the subject better and working in a team trains you to better communicate with others. As part of academic integrity, crediting others for their contribution to your work promotes ethical practice.
You must write up your solutions by yourself and understand anything that you hand in.
