Description:
Few subject areas in modern mathematics exhibit such a large gap between available and evolving theory and the
everyday practice as computational differential equations. Our mathematical understanding of discretisation
processes and their algorithmic implementation has undergone substantive revolution in the last decade. This means
entirely new families of discretisation methods, for example, mulltiresolution techniques and fast multipole algorithms,
but also much-improved rigorous understanding of what numerical methods can do in practice and how well are they
capable of modelling differential equations.
The purpose of this short course is to expose UK research students, mainly (but not exclusively) from the applied and computational community, to new trends in the discretisation of differential equations. Our intention is to provide participants with an opportunity to familiarise themselves with new computational approaches and to examine how do the latter fit into their own research interests.
