DME2A and DME2E in Bank Holiday Weeks

Because every lab counts, the two Bank Holiday labs of DME2A are going to be rescheduled to Tuesday and on those two dates Tuesdays February 6 and March 19 we will have the following:

  • DME2A, 14:40-16:20, DME2E 16:20-18:00, A285

Week 3

We did some further study on the Euler Method. The global error with the Euler Method is \mathcal{O}(h) and we need to reduce this by coming up with a better method or adjusting the Euler Method.

We started this by looking at Huen’s Method,.

In VBA we finished off the Euler Method Lab 2. People who have not complete this lab in the two labs of Weeks 2 and 4 should really complete this in their own time. Help here.

Week 4

We will do more on Heun’s Method, and also look at “Taylor Methods”.

We might also introduce second order differential equations and how to attack them numerically.

In VBA we look at Lab 3, on Heun’s Method.
