Learning outcomes
The course introduces the finite element method for the solution of stationary and evolutionary partial differential equations. It includes also necessary introduction to functional analysis and examples of physical problems leading to partial differential equations.
Students acquire basic knowledge of finite element method and fundaments of functionsl analysis. They will be able to derive the weak solution and assemble the systém matrix for various physical problems.
