Simulation - Introduction to the finite element method

The modeling of many technical but also increasingly economic problems leads to (mainly partial) differential equations. The buzzword "simulation" often used today - in the sense of predicting technical or economic processes - usually means nothing more than solving differential equations on the computer.

Expensive experiments are replaced by inexpensive numerical calculations. For a large class of differential equations, the finite element method can be used for their approximate solution. In the training course, the mathematical principles of the method will be explained using simple examples and its efficiency will be illustrated using some more complex problems with partial differential equations.
