teacher profile teaching materials
This course, starting from the weak formulation of balance equations, will give an overview of the techniques used to reduce a differential problem into an algebraic one. During the course, some selected problems in mechanics and physics will be solved, covering the three main types of equations: elliptic, parabolic and hyperbolic.
The course will cover the following topics: - Applied Linear Algebra.
- Boundary Value Problems.
- Initial Value Problems
Moreover, the students will be introduced to the use COMSOL Multiphysics, a scientific software for numerical simulations based on the Finite Element Method.

The purpose of this course is to give a brief introduction to the Finite Elements Method (FEM), a gold standard for the numerical solution of PDEs systems. Oddly enough, the widespread use of the FEM is not accompanied by an adequate knowledge of the mathematical framework underlying the method.This course, starting from the weak formulation of balance equations, will give an overview of the techniques used to reduce a differential problem into an algebraic one.
