Synopsis:

The course is devoted to numerical solution of boundary-value problems and intial-boundary-value problems for ordinary and partial differential equations. It explains methods converting boundary-value problems to initial-value problems and finite-difference methods for elliptic, parabolic and first-order hyperbolic partial differential equations.
