Descriptif

In MAA 312 “Numerical Methods for
ODEs”, we will introduce numerical
scheme to simulate ordinary differential
equations. We will start by Euler schemes
(explicit and implicit) and understand
how the notions of stability and consistency
can be used to study these methods.
We will then consider Runge-Kutta schemes
and apply the different methods to
particular applications, e.g. the N-body
problem.
