21.-23.11.2003 Multigrid Course



21. - 23. November 2003

Multigrid Course - Introduction to Standard Methods

The Course: This course results from several lecture series Algorithms I/II. At the end of the course even beginners without numerical experience will be able to write standard MG programs for model problems. This is possible by an appropriate mixture of heuristics and exactness combined with theory and practice. This concept proved to be successful by the previous courses since 1996.

Target Group: Everybody who is interested in numerical methods may use this course to start with multilevel algorithms. Students with mathematical or technical interest from universities and Fachhochschulen are encouraged to visit the course.

Mathematical Prerequisite: A basic knowledge of numerical analysis is helpful, including standard discretization techniques for partial differential equations (finite differences and similar approaches on cartesian grids), and a general familiarity with iterative solvers for large systems of equations.
