INF-MAT5390 – Splines for Geometry and PDE's
Schedule, syllabus and examination date
Course content
Piecewise polynomials on box partitions, local refinable splines. Dimension of spline spaces, applications to numerical solution of PDEs.
Learning outcome
After completing the course:
- you have learned about polynomial splines over locally refined box-partitions
- you can practice a new technique that can be used for numerical solution of partial differential equations.
Admission
Students who are admitted to study programmes at UiO must each semester register which courses and exams they wish to sign up for in Studentweb.
If you are not already enrolled as a student at UiO, please see our information about admission requirements and procedures.
Prerequisites
Recommended previous knowledge
No obligatory prerequisites beyond the minimum requirements for entrance to higher education in Norway.
It is recommended to have taken INF-MAT4350 – Numerical linear algebra (discontinued) and INF-MAT5340 – Spline methods (discontinued). Some knowledge of partial differential equations will be assumed.
The first part of the course does not require INF-MAT5340 so this course can be taken in parallel.
Teaching
2 hours of lectures each week.
Examination
An oral exam.
Examination support material
No examination support material is allowed.
Grading scale
Grades are awarded on a scale from A to F, where A is the best grade and F is a fail. Read more about the grading system.
Explanations and appeals
Resit an examination
This subject does not offer new examination in the beginning of the subsequent term for candidates who withdraw during an ordinary examination or fail an ordinary examination. For general information about new examination, see /english/studies/admin/examinations/new-exam/index.html
Withdrawal from an examination
It is possible to take the exam up to 3 times. If you withdraw from the exam after the deadline or during the exam, this will be counted as an examination attempt.
