The goal of the course is to introduce students to modern methods for numerical solution of systems of partial differential equations obtained by mathematical modeling of continuum mechanics problems (heat transfer, fluid flow, elastic deformation, etc.). The course includes overview of the basic commercial software for numerical computation (Matlab, Femlab) and its application to solution of PDEs. Further overview and practical use of the basic numerical libraries (Blas, Lapack, Petsc, etc. ), finite element libraries (Feat, Featflow) and libraries for paralel computation (MPI, OpenMP).
