Goal(s)

Numerical solutions of Partial Differential Equations are at the center of computational science. The object of this course is to present the main standard PDEs and to give the principles of the finite difference method. Every chapter contains the continuous problem and several discrete algorithms.
The course is made of lectures, exercise sessions, and practical Python demos.
