Compulsory exercises and projects

Compulsory exercises and projects

• A number of small mandatory exercises.

1. The first mandatory exercise is from the module of Finite difference methods for vibration problems. Problem 1: Use linear/quadratic functions for verification. The submission deadline is September 6.
2. The second mandatory exercise is Exercise 13 Compare discretizations of a Neumann condition from the module of Finite difference methods for wave motion. The submission deadline is September 13 September 20 (extended).
3. The third mandatory exercise is Exercise 5 of the Stationary variational forms module. The submission deadline is October 11.
4. The fourth mandatory assignment is Exercise 8 of the stationary variational forms module. The submission deadline is October 25. (You need only to write a simple report in LaTeX, no programming needed.)
5. The fifth mandatory assignment is Exercise 6 of the solving nonlinear ODE and PDE problems module. The submission deadline is November 1.

• Two large compulsory projects.

1. The first compulsory project is A 2D wave equation solver with finite differences, programmed from scratch. Deadline for submission is September 30. Group assessement on October 1.
2. The second compulsory project is A nonlinear finite element application, programmed in the FEniCS system. Deadline for submission is November 8. Group assessment on November 9.

These exercises and projects must be submitted within the prescribed deadlines in a github.com repo and assessed in the corresponding assessment lectures (under guidance of the teaching assistant), where groups of three or two students are automatically formed. Each student discusses and provides feedback on the exercises done by the other student(s) in the same group. Each student must do both the compulsory projects, and in addition finish at least 3 (out of 5) smaller mandatory exercises.

In case of questions, please contact the teaching assistant.
