Finite Element Method - Theory and Implementation WS 22/23
General information
The course focuses on the core ingredients to develop a Finite Element software - meshes, basis functions, quadrature rules, assembly, etc.
It is part of the course catalog of the Mathematics department, being suitable for all students in the M.Sc. programs

Lecture and Tutorials
The lecture and the the tutorials will be held offline, so in person.
The lecture will be held by Dr. Dennis Wenzel on Monday 11:10-12:40 in SCH/A316/H. Direction how to find this room can be found here.
There will be two tutorials groups, one on Wednesday 11:10-12:40 (Z21/242/U) and one on Thursday 9:20-10:50 (WIL/C107/U). Please choose one tutorial and sign in in the corresponding tutorial group.
The tutorial will start in the first week of the semester.
Changes to the schedule
Because of a public holiday there will be no lecture at the 31st October. The tutorials will take place nevertheless and there will also be an assignment in this week.
The tutorial on Wednesday will not take place at the 16th November because of a public holiday. It will be replaced by a tutorial on Friday, the 18th November, 14:50-16:20 at HSZ/E05/U.
Assignments
Each week an assignment sheet will be published that should be prepared before Tuesday 11:59 in the following week. If more than 80% of the tasks in an assignment sheet have been completed correctly, you get additional 0.5 points for the exam up to a maximum of 5.0 points.
Submission
In the 'Assignment' section on this website there is as an upload button. Files should be placed there and the filename should be kept as is, e.g. assignment_1.ipynb.
Deadline
The deadline for submission of assignments is Tuesday at 11:59 am in the respective week. Submission after this deadline will not be considered.
Further Studies
For a deeper understanding of the underlying mathematical concepts of the FEM we strongly recommend the lecture PDENM (Numerics of Partial Differential Equations).
