Lectures

Goal

The student should acquire basic theoretical and practical knowledge and principles used in mathematical modeling of physical processes.

Outcome

Upon successful completion of the course, students will be able to: - explain the basic principles of numerical solution of equations that describe the considered physical phenomena and processes.

Theoretical teaching

1. Physical and mathematical phenomenon and process. 2. Models of linear and non-linear oscillatory systems. 3. Van der Pol oscillator. 4. Lorentz equations. 5. Problems of stationary and non-stationary heat conduction. 6. Wave equation. 7. Burger's equation.

Practical teaching

1. Model formation, software implementation. 2. Analysis and discussion of the obtained results. 3. Implementation of algorithms in Python. 4. Software for visualization of results (Paraview).
