Lectures on Numerical Mathematics and Applications

The courses of the series "Lectures on Numerical Mathematics and Applications" took place at the University of Würzburg (Germany) from 27th to 28th August 2014. They consisted of lectures of two hours each, given by renowned speakers of different Universities, related to theory and application of numerical mathematics. The courses are addressed mainly to newly-graduated, PhD students and professionals from engineering schools and applied science Universities from all over the world. The main aim of the courses is to introduce young researchers to the modeling and simulation of different problems of partial differential equations. All the courses will be held in English language.
