Computational Methods in Ordinary Differential Equations

Undergraduate course, Manchester Metropolitan University, 2022

A third year content that covers numerical methods for solving Ordinary Differential Equations (ODEs) and linear systems of equations.

Topics include:

  • initial value problems
  • the Taylor series
  • the Euler method
  • explicit and implicit Runge-Kutta methods
  • boundary values problems
  • LU, Cholesky and QR decomposition
  • Jacobi, Gauss-Seidel and SOR indirect methods.
