Learning material

Week 2 - Introduction and Preliminaries

  • the lecture notes are available as the slides I used: 01-Preliminaries.pdf (V2, fixed typos) and a Jupyter notebook 01-Preliminaries.ipynb for some numerical examples.
  • Regarding vector spaces, inner products, orthogonal projections etc. it might be a good idea to review the corresponding lecture notes, e.g. 9-projeksjon.pdf from autumn 2020s Calculus 3 course.

Week 2&3 - Polynomial interpolation

Week 4 - Numerical integration

Week 5 - Numerical methods for nonlinear equations

Week 6 & 7 - Laplace transform

Week 8 & 9 – Numerical methods for ordinary differential equations

Week 10 & 11 Fourier Series

  • lecture notes for the first week are available as 07a-Fourier-Series-I.pdf (V2, note that there was a typo in both the $b_n$ on slide 26 – now correct with a $\sin$ and on slide 28 where it is times $\mathrm{I}$ and not a vision by it) and a small accompanying Jupyter notebook 07a-Fourier-Series-I.ipynb.
  • lecture notes for the second week are available as 07b-Fourier-Series-II.pdf (V2, fixed typos, added a slide about convolution), the proof for Lipschitz continuous functions is given here
  • you can also check the Lecture notes on Fourier series by Marten Nome (in Norwegian) fourierrekker.pdf
  • for complex Fourier series a nice visualisation was made by 3blue1brown in his video about Fourier series

Week 12 Fourier Transform

Week 13 Heat Equation

Week 14 Wave Equation

Week 16 & 17 Numerical methods for partial differential equations

Week 17 Revision

For the Wednesday summary and question time I wrote a (very) short summary of the course 12-short-summary.pdf

Supplemental material

I heavily use and reuse Morten Nome's excellent lecture notes from 2019 edition of TMA4215, in particular for Part I of the course. For the second part, the material will be mostly based on Anne Kvœrnø's Jupyter Notebooks.
