Lectures (Fri 2-5pm, GDC 2.210)
- 08/26: Overview of course; a basic finite difference method and
error analysis; introduction to calculus of variations; energy
formulation and equivalence of minimizer to boundary value problem
formulation
- 09/02: Ritz method; 1D example; errors in L2, infinity, and
energy norms; showed that Ritz method minimizes the error when
measured in the energy norm
