Applied Numerical Methods, part 1, nummet1-10
Latest NEWS: The result of the Exam December 17th is now available either from the student office or Mina sidor. CONCERNING COURSE EVALUATION: I have no formal course evaluation to be filled out. Instead I welcome your own aspects of the course. Please e-mail me (edsberg@csc.kth.se) or (if you want to be anonymous) put a message in my mail box on floor 4 or send it by post. There will be a re-exam on TUESDAY, January 25, 2011 at 15-20 in Q22 and Q24. It is time to present the project. I have reserved projectors for those of you who will make a pp-presentation. I need a paper copy of your presentation ONE DAY BEFORE! Please put it in my mailbox at floor 4. The MATLAB-program should also be submitted on paper, but NOT presented at the seminar! It is important that you keep the time schedule: At most 20 (sometimes 15) minutes for each presentation. Make room for say 3 min of questions. Lab 5 (and 4) is corrected and graded and is available from the student office, Osquars Backe 2. During the time Nov 9 - Nov 18 I will be working in India. In the lecture on Monday Nov 15 at 13-15 in B1, Katarina Gustafsson will talk one hour about "Simulation of multiphase flow" and Michael Hanke will talk one hour about "Challenges in Scientific Computing". If you need help with your project you can contact (by e-mail first) Kaspar Muller, kasparm@csc.kth.se concerning P1-P7, Oana Marin, oanam@kth.se, concerning P8-P12 and Bengt Lindberg, bengtl@csc.kth.se, concerning P13-P15. On Mon Nov 1st, 15-16 there was be a lecture and demonstration of Comsol Multiphysics. You find a description and a demonstration here If you want to copy Comsol 3.5a to your own computer, please go to the student office and take the instruction from the project book. Material for the course: 1) Textbook, L.Edsberg "Introduction to computation and modeling for Differential equations", Wiley's 2008. Available at KTH's bookstore, 680 SEK, see also this link 2) Some description of Matlab e.g. the "Dundee Matlab report" The Matlab-description can be bought at the CSC-school student office at Osquars Backe 2, floor 2, SEK 40. There is also a short introductory material to Matlab with lessons and exercises for self studies for anyone who needs a refresher to Matlab. Account number for access to Nada's unix system, where you can run e.g. Matlab and Comsol Multiphysics, is obtained at Delfi, Nada's computer system group at floor 2, Osquars Backe 2. At Delfi you can also get a keycard for access to Nada's computer rooms. A keycard will be given to those who have an account number. Matlab and Comsol Multiphysics can be downloaded to your own computer if you are KTH student, see ProgDist If you are a PhD-student, please look at payment rules Labs to be done in groups of 2 students, responsible for each labreport). The labs are found in the textbook, appendix C Read about the requirements for the lab reports here Laboration 1, deadline Sept 13th, also found here FAQ lab1: 1) Can we use ode23 or ode45 in lab 1? Answer: no, use expm(A*t) 2) Shall we compute the eigenvalues in 2a analytically? Answer: if you want, easier is to use the eig-function. 3) Newton's method converges to only one (or two) of the critical points, why? Answer: you have probably given the jacobian incorrectly. Laboration 2, deadline Sept 27th Laboration 3, deadline Oct 11th Observe the misprint in the book: sin(pi*(z-a)/(z-b)) should be sin(pi*(z-a)/(b-a)) Laboration 4, deadline Oct 27th Laboration 5, deadline Nov 22nd Laboration 6, deadline Dec 10h The final project will be given out in the end of October. The project is done in groups of 2-5 students. The results of the project are presented orally at one of the seminars in december. The presentation is done with OH's or with computer, e.g. Power point. At least one day before the presentation, copies of the pictures of the presentation must be given to the teacher who will arrange copies for the audience. Every student in the group must make some contribution to the oral presentation. The mark of the course (A, B, C, D or E) is based on the results of both labs, project and written exam. Each lab is given a maximum number of credit points: Lab 1:4.0, Lab 2:4.0, Lab 3:3.0, Lab 4:4.0, Lab 5:4.0, Lab 6:4.0 If a lab is late (see date for submission below) the score will be reduced by 1 credit. The definitely final date for submitting a lab is Dec 17th. The project is given maximum 5 credit points. The written exam is given maximum credit point of TEN:29 To pass the course minimum 14 credits are needed from the labs (max is 23), minimum 3 credits from the project (max is 5) and 13 from the written exam (max is 29). The following scale will be used for the final grading (labs+project+exam): Fx:>=27, E:>=32, D:>=37, C:>=42, B:>=47, A:>=52, max 57 Tentative schedule: 27/8: Chapter 1 and 2 30/8: Chapter 2 and 3 3/9: Assisted lab 6/9: Chapter 3 7/9: Chapter 3, Demonstration of some MATLAB-programs for Van der Pols eqn Explicit Euler, componentwise Explicit Euler, vectorwise Eulers improved method using a function for the right hand side MATLABs ode45 to plot trajectories 10/9: Assisted lab 13/9: Chapter 3, Lab 1 in Explicit midpoint method on the vibration equation 21/9: Chapter 4 27/9: Chapter 4 and 5, Lab 2 in 4/10: Chapter 6 8/10: Lab 3 in 27/10: Chapter 6 and 7, Lab 4 in, project out 29/10: Assisted lab 1/11: Comsol Multiphysics, background and demo 8/11: Chapter 7 and 8. 15/11: Guest lecture, Chapter 8, 22/11: Guest lecture, Chapter 9, Lab 5 in 30/11: Reserv time 1/12,2/12,3/12,6/12: Project presentations 10/12: Lab 6 in 17/12: Written exam 14-19 in rooms V32, V34 Suggested dates for reexam: to be agreed upon Please give your commenst on these dates!
