Course Objectives This course is designed to give the students the basic theory of numerical methods for solving Ordinary Differential Equations. In the course , first, the derivation, stability and convergence analysis of the methods for Initial Value Problems will be discussed , and than short introduction to the numerical methods for solving Boundary Value Problems will be given.
Course Learning Outcomes The students who succeeded in this course;
  • At the end of the course the students are expected to: 1) derive some practical numerical methods for solving initial and boundary value problems in ordinary differential equations, 2) investigate the stability and convergence properties of the methods, 3) identify numerical methods that best approximates the solution of the problem, 4) recognise some of the numerical difficulties that can occur when solving differential equations arising in applications.
Course Content Existence, uniqueness and stability theory; IVP: Euler?s method, Taylor series method, Runge-Kutta methods, explicit and implicit methods; multistep methods based on integration and differentiation; predictor?corrector methods; stability, convergence and error estimates of the methods; boundary value problems: finite difference methods, shooting me
