Description:

The course will give an introduction to finite element methods for solving boundary value problems in dimensions 1, 2 and 3. It will cover both theoretical and practical topics, e.g., appropriate approximation theory and error estimates, questions about well-posedness and uniqueness of solutions, as well as fast solution methods and engineering applications. 

Some familiarity with real and numerical analysis will be helpful, but the course will aim to be self-contained and accessible to students in mathematics as well as adjacent fields.

Prerequisite:

Some familiarity with numerical analysis and real analysis
