Courses

Mathematical aspects of materials modelling

MATH-500

The simulation of materials properties from first principles is a key component of modern materials science research. We discuss common simulation techniques (such as plane-wave density-functional theory) from a mathematical perspective, outline robust algorithms and error estimation techniques.

Numerical analysis

MATH-251(b)

The students will learn key numerical techniques for solving standard mathematical problems in science and engineering. The underlying mathematical theory and properties are discussed.
