Synopsis:

Course covers the overview of clasical numerical methods for the solution of evolution problems for ODEs and PDEs. Students get familiar with discretization errors, stability of schemes and convergence of solution. Emphasis is put on a practical use of numerical methods (choice of method, discretization, ...).
